Show Us Your Drought-Smart Solutions!

As the Edwards Aquifer Authority celebrates 30 years of stewardship on June 28,
we invite residents, students, businesses, and organizations from Atascosa, Bexar,
Caldwell, Comal, Guadalupe, Hays, Medina, and Uvalde counties to help us look to
the future by showcasing how you’re managing the drought.

Whether you’re collecting rainwater, composting, using drip irrigation, or embracing
native plants—we want to see it!

Winning photos will be featured in the 2027 EAA Calendar,
celebrating innovation, resilience, and our community’s shared commitment to
protecting the aquifer.
