What happens if we're not experiencing recharge to the Edwards Aquifer?💧 That’s when the Edwards Aquifer Authority implements Critical Period Management (CPM) Plan—a system designed to sustain both aquifer levels and springflow during dry periods.

To track the health of the ...aquifer, we take daily measurements from key locations:
📍 San Antonio Pool – J-17 Index Well, San Marcos Springs, and Comal Springs
📍 Uvalde Pool – J-27 Index Well

We calculate a 10-day average of these readings and use that data to determine what stage restrictions need to be in place for permit holders.

Right now:
🔹 Uvalde Pool is in Stage 5
🔹 San Antonio Pool is in Stage 4

More stringent stages are triggered when aquifer levels drop—this helps protect one of the main sources of water for this region along with the habitats for the threatened and endangered species that depend on the Edwards Aquifer system.

🌿 Water conservation matters now more than ever. Even small actions in and around your home can make a big impact. Let’s protect your aquifer together—for today and for generations to come.

#EdwardsAquifer

It’s National Endangered Species Day — and we’re spotlighting some incredible (and incredibly rare) species that call the Edwards Aquifer home.🌎💧

From the Texas blind salamander 👀 to the Comal Springs dryopid beetle 🪲, and the only endangered plant on the list—the Texas... wild-rice 🌾—these unique species are not found anywhere else in the world and rely on the Comal and San Marcos Spring systems to survive.
Protecting the Edwards Aquifer means protecting the biodiversity that makes this region one-of-a-kind.

👉 Which endangered species fact surprised you the most? Let us know in the comments!
