The Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conservation District (the District) was founded in 1987 by the Texas legislature. As a groundwater conservation district, we’re a local government entity authorized to work with well owners to protect aquifers and manage the use of groundwater throughout our territory.
The District is currently in Stage II Alarm Drought and has been in various levels of drought since July 2022. District drought status is based on two determinants: Barton Springs flow and Lovelady monitor well groundwater levels, as seen on the right. With Texas Hill Country aquifers at severe lows, it’s essential for all community members in the District to meet their groundwater restrictions and continue to conserve this precious resource.
