Groundwater levels provide critical information about the hydrologic relationships of recharge and discharge to storage within an aquifer, and the direction of groundwater flow. The District maintains over 40 monitor wells to track water levels using continuous-recording instruments or periodic manual measurements. The District monitors groundwater levels within the Edwards, Upper and Middle Trinity Aquifers.…

The Trinity Aquifer of central Texas is a critical groundwater resource for water supply, ecological, and recreational uses. However, limited continuous water level data exists to characterize the aquifer system. Accordingly, in 2008, the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District (HTGCD) initiated a water level monitoring program across central Hays County that involved installing continuous data…

Pleasant Valley Spring (PVS) and Jacob’s Well Spring (JWS) are large karst springs providing perennial baseow to the Blanco River and Cypress Creek, respectively, which eventually recharges the Edwards Aquifer. In order to better understand groundwater ow and sources of recharge to these springs (springsheds), we created a potentiometric map of the area surrounding the…

Format: Report of Investigations
Year: 2014

Pleasant Valley Spring (PVS) and Jacob’s Well Spring (JWS) are large karst springs providing perennial baseflow to the Blanco River and Cypress Creek, respectively, which eventually recharges the Edwards Aquifer. JWS flow has become intermittent in recent years due to drought and increased pumping driven by nearby population growth within the Cypress Creek watershed. In…
