Significant rainfall in Uvalde helped the J-27 Index Well transition from Stage 3 to Stage 2 earlier this month (September 10, 2022). Water levels at J-27 have been relatively low over the last year or two. Significant rain out in Uvalde and north of Uvalde provided some recharge and an increase in water levels. It’s hard to say how long this trend will continue but it’s a good trend. An aquifer conditions update is reported every month at the EAA board meeting to inform board members and the public about the status of the J-17 Index Well, J-27 Index Well, the Comal Springs and the San Marcos Springs springflows. These index wells and springs are indicators of the health of the aquifer and critical to drought management.
