The Edwards Aquifer is more than a water source — it’s a living story that connects our past, present and future. It’s the reason settlers came to this area, and it’s the lifeblood of our growth. Our aquifer is a resource we can study and learn from. It’s an incredible wonder, and it’s why we’re here.
Dive into deeper discovery through education.
There’s so much to explore at the EAA Education Outreach Center. We’ve got a hub of interactive exhibits and hands-on activities designed to inspire a deeper connection to the water that sustains our region.

What can you expect when you visit the EAA Education Outreach Center? 💧✨
In the latest episode of Aquifer In-Sight, Sarah Valdez, EAA Senior STEAM Outreach Educator, shares an inside look at the EOC, where the aquifer comes to life through hands-on, interactive STEAM learning ...experiences designed for students, families, and lifelong learners alike.
From engaging exhibits to immersive programs rooted in science, technology, engineering, art, and math, the EOC was created to connect our community to the story of the Edwards Aquifer in a way that’s both educational and inspiring. What began as a vision to expand outreach has grown into a dynamic space where curiosity is sparked, questions are encouraged, and aquifer science feels accessible to everyone.
Whether you’re a teacher planning a field trip, a homeschool group looking for enrichment, or a family wanting to explore, the EOC welcomes you.

Introducing, Sara Beesley 🌱
The Edwards Aquifer Authority recently welcomed Sara Beesley into the role of Chief Development Officer. In her role, she will act as the Executive Director of the Edwards Aquifer Conservancy guiding the organization towards their mission to enhance, protect,... and conserve the Edwards Aquifer System by supporting the Edwards Aquifer Authority.

💧Did you know the Edwards Aquifer Conservancy (EAC) owns the Edwards Aquifer Authority Field Research Park (EAA FRP) Property?
In 2019, the city of San Antonio donated the $5.5 million piece of land located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone to help protect the aquifer and our ...agency holds the lease for the property. The FRP is a hub for groundwater-related sustainability and aquifer behavior research where our staff are demonstrating and evaluating various land management practices and their potential effects on aquifer sustainability.
But that's not all, the EAC also administers transportation grants for schools to visit the EAA Education Outreach Center, and provides groundwater conservation grant matching funds for installation of improved irrigation efficiency equipment.
