08 Protecting Springflows During Drought

Aquifer Management Services | Featured Story A fundamental component of our mission is to implement groundwater management tools designed to ensure that flows at Comal and San Marcos springs are sustained during periods of drought.

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.

but the Springs are Still Flowing Regulatory Affairs Despite these challenges, San Marcos and Comal Springs continue to flow.

These index wells and springs are indicators of the health of the aquifer and critical to drought management.

The Edwards Aquifer Conservancy is here to support the mission to manage, enhance, and protect the Edwards Aquifer system.

Please note: Residents and businesses who receive their water from a public water system are encouraged to check with their water provider to determine how stage reduction could impact them. 14 2026 EAHCP Overview
