Title: Helotes Mulch Fire 2006 Tracing Groundwater Flow Using Natural Fluorescent Materials
Description:
With approximately 21 million gallons of water (LFCI, 2011) having been trained on the debris pile, the Helotes mulch fire effectively became a tracer test of huge proportions. It provided an opportunity for us to study the karst-related flow characteristics of the Edwards and Trinity aquifers. The fire-fighting water mobilized naturally fluorescing woody material and products of combustion that could be measured in groundwater using conventional fluorescence spectroscopy. Results revealed many of the characteristics of karst in both aquifers.

Title: Re-Conceptualizing the Edwards Aquifer Authority Recharge Program: Staff Recommendations to Optimize and Protect the Edwards Aquifer
