Experts teach about the hydrology of local aquifers

ENVIRONMENT

This is the second of a two part series on the Groundwater Symposium that occurred at Texas State University on April 2 bringing together the area’s groundwater conservation leaders.

The aquifer’s in the area are complex and vastly different from one another, but all are interconnected. Each impacts the flow for various surface water sources throughout the region and require different regulations for management. Texas State University’s Office of Sustainability and Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, along with the Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conservation District, hosted a Groundwater Symposium on April 2 at the LBJ Student Center to discuss hydrogeology, management and conservation of local aquifers.
