Our Purpose Runs Deep

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.

Rooted in community. Rooted in conservation. 💧✨

We’re proud to highlight the January photo featured in the 2026 EAA Calendar, taken by a winner from our 2025 Rooted in Saving Water photo contest. These images showcase how families, schools, and neighbors across our region are ...putting creativity and care into conserving water and protecting the Edwards Aquifer.

In this photo by Rachel Cywinski, we see the Native Sabal Mexicana with winter precipitation. This highlights the importance of resilient multi-height plantings to prevent dehydration of foliage in extreme cold. These plants protect the ground under native trees, sheltering seedlings of spring­ blooming annuals, and providing vital refuge to urban wildlife in freezing conditions.

📅 The 2026 calendar celebrates drought-smart solutions, stewardship, and the shared commitment to keeping our water source healthy and resilient.
