Recent rainfall, including the rare July storms we’re currently experiencing, has already started to make a difference to Edwards Aquifer well levels.
The Edwards Aquifer is one of the largest natural aquifers in the world and one of the most important ecological resources available to South and Central Texas . The aquifer extends over parts of 10 Texas counties, covering an area of about 3,600 square miles.
Here are five things to know about the Edwards Aquifer. However, droughts over the past few years have significantly reduced aquifer well levels from their historical average. When that happens, restrictions are put into place to limit how much water can be pumped out of the aquifer. How do we bring well levels back up? Unfortunately, we can’t do a whole lot ourselves. It’s up to Mother Nature to produce significant rainfall to a specific geographic location: the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone.
