How does a farmer in Uvalde or Medina County support conservation of the Comal & San Marcos Springs?
July 23, 2024
The Edwards Aquifer Authority has Critical Period triggers that protect flow at Comal and San Marcos springs. When a Critical Period trigger occurs, all Edwards Aquifer users reduce their use and withdrawal of groundwater to ensure water for springflow and to protect the federally listed species.
Specific EAHCP springflow protection measures include Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) and Voluntary Irrigation Suspension Program Option (VISPO).
