Actually no (a minor nit of mine). The Edwards aquifer does not contact Kerr County at all.anygunanywhere wrote:So, the Edwards Aquifer is being recharged, is it?Tom wrote: Kind Regards from a very wet NW Kerr County,

Anygun, Saddlewood lot owner, Kerrville resident in the future.
Our aquifer out here is the Edwards-Trinity Plateau Aquifer which extends NW to Midland-Odessa.
Our recharge area is huge and includes everything from here towards Midland-Odessa.
We are on the very deepest end of it and have a huge underground supply of water that is in this
area over 800 feet thick with the top at about 2000 ft ASL. I don't believe it extends even to Kerrville though.
The Edwards (full name is Edwards-Balcones Fault Zone) runs from Bracketville to Kyle in
a narrow arc, under San Antonio. Its recharge area is well south and east of us.
All of our runoff ends up in the LLano to the north and then into the Colorado, to Austin.
For a lot more good aquifer stuff see:

FYI, Kerrville does a lot of recharging of their underground supply from the Guadelupe so you should be
fine for a long time.
Aquifer discussions can sometimes turn violent, which is part of the reason that I always carry (gun content).
Kind Regards,
