GEAA and Texas State University Students Partner to Map Wastewater Treatment Facilities Across Edwards Aquifer Region

A team of four students from Dr. Yihong Yuan’s Geographic Information Science (GIS) Design & Implementation Class at Texas State University (TSU), working with the Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance (GEAA), have created an interactive map of wastewater treatment facilities (WWTF)  within the Edwards Aquifer region. With this map, students conducted an overlay analysis to pinpoint high-risk WWTF areas within the Edwards Aquifer region based on population density and proximity to steams.  The interactive map will help further GEAA’s ongoing research of the impacts of sewage and WWTFs on the Edwards Aquifer region.
