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.

'Twas the day before our angel tree gift pick up, when all through the EAA, staff were grateful to give to children and senior citizens across San Antonio that are in need of Christmas gifts. Thanks The Salvation Army San Antonio Area Command for all that you do! 🎄
Jessica Quintanilla, EAA Aquifer Science Supervisor, is here to share how our agency conducts water quality research, which allows us to identify vulnerable areas within the aquifer and learn more about the intra-aquifer connections. The data collected allows us to gain more insight and implement ...sustainable practices for the benefit of the community's most precious groundwater resource. 🌍💙

🌿✨ Happy Wildlife & Conservation Day!
Today, Kristina is highlighting the incredible work happening across our region, and the people who make it possible. From our dedicated Edwards Aquifer Habitat Conservation Plan (EAHCP) permittees to our committees and community stakeholders,... this collective partnership plays a vital role in supporting the EAHCP and the threatened and endangered species that rely on it. 💧🐟🌱
The current EAHCP Incidental Take Permit (ITP) is in its permit renewal process where a new permit term will be issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Typically, regional or programmatic habitat conservation plans have terms of 25-50 years. An ITP is issued by USFWS to allow the permittees to maintain a specified level of disturbance from approved Covered Activities (e.g. groundwater pumping and aquatic recreation) while also offsetting those impacts through mitigation measures such as habitat restoration.
It is through collaborative efforts that the EAHCP successfully protects the Edwards Aquifer threatened and endangered species by maintaining aquatic habitat in the Comal and San Marcos Springs ecosystems.
