The Edwards Aquifer is the principal source of water supply for the City of San Antonio, as well as numerous other communities and agricultural interests throughout south-central Texas. The aquifer also supplies Leona, San Pedro, San Antonio, Comal, and San Marcos Springs, creating unique environments and recreational opportunites while providing base flow to the Leona, San Antonio, Guadalupe, and San Marcos Rivers. Over the past several decades, the increasing water demands on the Edwards Aquifer have raised concerns about the ability of the aquifer to meet these demands without causing social, economic, and environmental problems.
The following is a list of reference and summary documents pertaining to studies that have been performed on the viability of recharge dams over the recharge zone of the aquifer.
