EDWARDS AQUIFER AUTHORITY

With the city of San Marcos currently in stage 3 drought restrictions and local springs drying up, water conservation is at the top of mind for many. The Edwards Aquifer Authority hosted the EAA summit in San Antonio to update the public on the current state of the aquifer, which is utilized by Uvalde, San Antonio, New Braunfels and San Marcos, and the ways in which it is being managed.

“I call it the three ‘I words’ of inclusion, imagination and innovation.

What has changed has been the vigor and the way that we are pursuing that mission.”
