Our Mission
The mission of the Edwards Aquifer Conservancy is to support the work of the Edwards Aquifer Authority and their mission to manage, enhance, and protect the Edwards Aquifer system, which provides water for drinking and other essential purposes for over 2.5 million Texans.
WATER IS LIFE
ater is life, pure and simple. Without it, there are no homes to build, businesses to exist, farms to irrigate, animals to raise, no industries to grow and prosper, and most importantly, none to drink and maintain life. Without the Edwards Aquifer, cities like Uvalde, San Antonio, New Braunfels and San Marcos simply don’t exist.
The Edwards Aquifer Authority manages a total of 186 billion gallons of groundwater withdrawals each year covering over 8,000 square-miles.
