ICYMI: Did the recent rainfall help bring aquifer levels up?💧 Paul Bertetti, EAA Senior Director of Aquifer Science Research & Modeling, shares aquifer conditions as reported at the EAA board meeting this past Tuesday. From 10-day and historical averages to projections for estimated water ...levels for the J-17 index well for the San Antonio Pool – we have the latest aquifer conditions report for you.

The latest NewsDrop from the Edwards Aquifer Authority is here! 💧

In the March/April 2026 edition, we’re kicking off an in-depth look at the Edwards Aquifer Habitat Conservation Plan (EAHCP)—where it stands today and what’s ahead as renewal approaches. We’re also highlighting ...the Education Outreach Center (EOC), which is seeing a record number of visitors from across the region who are eager to learn more about the Edwards Aquifer and the work being done to protect it.

We appreciate your continued interest in the EAA, because we believe impact runs deep and your community investment yields lasting outcomes!

Thank you to Jeremy Baker - KENS 5 at KENS 5 & Kens5.com for this week’s weather update! ☀️ We’re seeing some warm temperatures this week, with a cool front expected to move in through the weekend. While recent rain is welcome news, conserving water remains essential to help sustain the... Edwards Aquifer and protect this vital resource for generations to come. 💧🌎

Did you know the plants in your yard can directly impact our water supply? 🌿💧

At the Edwards Aquifer Authority, protecting the Edwards Aquifer starts from the ground up, literally! Jewell, EAA Aquifer Environmental Scientist, is here to break down the difference between native and ...non-native plants and explain why native plants and grasses are better options for planting in your yards or gardens.

Native plants are adapted to our region’s climate and soil, meaning they require less water, promote better soil absorption, and deeper roots mean water makes its way down into the ground and eventually the aquifer. 🌎✨

Tune in to learn how small landscaping choices can make a big difference in water conservation!

Why are conservation easements so important to aquifer protection?

In this video Casey, EAA Aquifer Sustainability Supervisor, breaks down how a conservation easement works, how it helps protect the Edwards Aquifer, and why landowners choose this path for their property.

A ...conservation easement allows landowners to preserve the natural landscape of the property while still maintaining ownership. This in turn, helps protect critical lands within the 3 zones of the Edwards Aquifer System, and ultimately positively impacts the quality and quantity of water that enters and is withdrawn from the aquifer for generations to come.

It’s about stewardship, legacy, and protecting the resources we all depend on.

Follow along to watch and to learn more about how conservation easements support both landowners and long-term aquifer protection. 💧

Wells play an important role in withdrawing water from the aquifer, but they can also pose a threat to groundwater if they are not properly maintained since they span hundreds of feet below ground surface.

🤝That’s where our Groundwater Regulations Team comes in, because for the past ...8 years they have been working with well owners and their contractors to address abandoned wells. This initiative has resulted in 449 abandoned well issues being resolved. This team also documents and inspects registered wells, monitors the jurisdiction for unregistered wells, and searches for abandoned wells.

💧This National Groundwater Awareness Week, we encourage you to learn more about well ownership by reading our guide to responsible well ownership here:
