As quoted by GEAA Executive Director Annallisa Peace, “The news of the Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conservation District declaring a stage four exceptional drought (the first time in its 36-year history) is quite dismaying. The Barton Springs segment is a much smaller pool of groundwater than the San Antonio segment. Cyclical droughts coupled with the rapid growth in that area point to a real need to conserve water and, perhaps consider restricting population growth to what local water resources can support.”
