The Edwards Aquifer Authority said the severe drought is not dramatically impacting the Edwards Aquifer because there are legal protections not found in any other groundwater conservation district.
The EAA is in charge of regulating how much water is pumped from the aquifer and it tracks the flow of the Comal and San Marcos Springs.
“San Antonio was growing and there was concern that there would not be enough water in the Edwards for everyone, for everyone’s continued use. So someone very smartly said, ‘There’s endangered species there. Let’s use them as a leverage point to try to get a management plan in place,’” Ruiz said. “Although levels are low, spring flows are low, but they’re continuing to flow. And so, all we’re doing is using these tools to manage through the drought to get us to the next rainy season,” Ruiz said.
Unlike any other groundwater conservation district, there is a legal cap on how much water can be pumped out of the Edwards Aquifer. “When someone wants to drill a new well, they want to establish. For the Edwards, they don’t come to us to get a new permit. They have to go out on the market and find a willing seller,” Ruiz said.
Municipal permits use the most water from the aquifer, with nearly 60% of the approved water usage last year.“The entire Edwards Aquifer Authority, they permit 572,000 acre-feet of the entire aquifer through all parties and everybody total throughout out for everybody. Of that, we have about 260,000 acre-feet,” Burton said.
