The EAA’s jurisdiction covers 8,000 square miles and ranges from Uvalde to Hays Counties, and parts in-between. It is governed by a 17-member board of directors representing the interests of constituents from across the Edwards Aquifer region. The Edwards Aquifer Conservancy (EAC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization established for the benefit of the EAA. Funds raised by the EAC enhance the resources available for programs and initiatives, such as public education and information outreach, the pursuit of critical scientific field research, ongoing conservation efforts, and hazardous materials training in the Edwards Aquifer region, to name a few. The EAC’s current major efforts include the construction and operation of its Education Outreach Center, located on the Morgan’s Wonderland Camp, and expected to be opened to the public in 2021.
