Aqua Texas serves more than 177,000 residents in 417 communities in 51 counties across the Lone Star State.


In 2004, the area that now comprises the Aquarena Center was placed under the direction of the Meadows Center for Water and the Environment at Texas State University-San Marcos. The Aquarena Center offers numerous interactive environmental activities, including glass bottom boat tours and a freshwater aquarium. In this area, the San Marcos Springs emerge from the Edwards Aquifer to fill Spring Lake and form the San Marcos River, which is a portal into Texas history, geography and ecology. Archaeological research indicates that the area surrounding the springs has been inhabited for some 12,000 years.

Located in western Travis County, the Balcones Canyonlands area provides habitat for a number of unique rare and endangered plant and animal species. Distinctive woodlands, wetlands and grasslands cover the ground, and a subsurface honeycomb network of caves, sinkholes and springs contain highly specialized animals adapted to these environments. Still deeper lie a series of aquifers including the Edwards Aquifer that is the primary drinking water source for over 1.5 million central Texas residents.

The Parks and Recreation Department maintains 246 acres of park land in San Marcos. The San Marcos River winds through 150 acres of this parkland that includes: three miles of jogging trails, playscape equipment, picnic tables, blacktop basketball courts, volleyball set-ups, and a vast array of unique and interesting river wildlife. The river offers canoeing, snorkeling, scuba diving, swimming, fishing, and tubing in crystal clear spring fed waters

Water is a precious resource - it provides tourism, recreation, habitat for endangered species, and drinking water for a rapidly growing population. To insure this resource will be available in the future, each of us must strive to use water as efficiently as possible and to become water-wise consumers.

For centuries, people have relied on rainwater harvesting to supply water for household, landscape, livestock, and agricultural uses. Before the advent of large centralized water supply systems, rainwater was collected from roofs and stored on site in tanks known as cisterns. With the development of large, reliable water treatment and distribution systems and more affordable well drilling equipment, rain harvesting was all but forgotten, even though it offered a source of pure, soft, low-sodium water.

The mission of the Texas Water Foundation is to maintain and enhance the quality of life for all Texans by mobilizing Texans to recognize the vital role water plays in protecting human health, supporting economic growth and safeguarding natural resources.

TWICC will collaborate to identify water and wastewater infrastructure and compliance issues and to seek affordable, sustainable and innovative funding strategies for the protection of public health and the efficient use of government resources in Texas. (TWDB)

The Texas Water Digital Library’s mission is to be a centralized, online location for the research and works of university and other water resource enti-ties in Texas, effectively federating water research currently housed at many universities across Texas.

The Trinity River Authority of Texas is a conservation and reclamation district providing water and wastewater treatment, along with recreation and reservoir facilities, for municipalities within the nearly 18,000-square-mile Trinity River basin. TRA also maintains a master plan for basin-wide development, and serves as a conduit for tax-exempt financing for municipal projects and as a local sponsor for federal water projects. Each TRA operating project is an independent financial entity, and TRA receives no tax revenues or appropriations.

The Trust for Public Land conserves land for people to enjoy as parks, gardens, and other natural places, ensuring livable communities for generations to come.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) may best be described as a small agency with a big mission: To sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. It administers more public land – over 245 million surface acres – than any other Federal agency in the United States. Most of this land is located in the 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also manages 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation.

The study of geosciences at Trinity University is built upon the philosophy that the students at the undergraduate level must receive a broad-based education emphasizing the fundamental principles of the discipline, enhanced whenever possible with the benefits of practical experience in the laboratory, extensive field experience, and a solid foundation in cognate sciences and mathematics. The department stresses field work in all appropriate classes at all levels.

At CERM, we are commited to address the binational environmental challenges that threaten the health, safety, and quality of life in the region.

The Upper Cibolo Creek Watershed Partnership (UCCWP) is being formed to take a proactive step in protecting and restoring water quality within Upper Cibolo Creek. This WPP is administered by the TCEQ and the City of Boerne, Tx.

The Upper Colorado River Authority was chartered in 1935 by the State of Texas to protect the watersheds of Tom Green, Coke and other contiguous counties. There are nine directors who are appointed by the Governor of Texas. The UCRA currently employs four full time staff members, one part time staff and one management consultant. Board Members represent Tom Green, Coke and contiguous counties.

The Geoscience department pursues research and teaching in the key areas of hydrogeology (water resources, aqueous geochemistry), geobiology (paleontology and geomicrobiology), geoinformatics (geospatial analysis, GIS, remote sensing), petroleum geology and paleontology, and land dynamics (geomorphology, environmental geology, sedimentology).

The mission of the Upper Guadalupe River Authority is to conserve and reclaim surface water through the preservation and distribution of the water resources for future growth in order to maintain and enhance the quality of life for all Kerr County citizens.

This Watershed Protection Program is administered by TCEQ and SARA.

This project will obtain high-resolution data on nutrient and suspended sediment inputs to Spring Lake in order to determine the influence of various water sources on the water quality of Spring Lake and the Upper San Marcos River. This WPP is administered by the TCEQ and The Meadows Center for Water nad the Environment.

The goal of this project is to reduce bacteria concentrations to within acceptable risk levels for contact recreation in Salado Creek (Segment 1910), Walzem Creek (Segment 1910A), and the Upper San Antonio River (Segment 1911). The San Antonio River Authority (SARA) is a partner in this TMDL project.
