Water district hosts annual meeting
The Texas Water Development Board will host a joint planning meeting for the Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer and the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District and eight other entities with stakes in Groundwater Management Area No. 9.
The meeting will be Monday, March 7, 10 a.m., at the Upper Guadalupe River Authority, 125 Lehman Drive in Kerrville.
HB 1763 requires groundwater conservation districts to meet at least once a year to coordinate efforts and establish “desired future conditions” for the region’s aquifers. The water development board then uses the designation to determine available groundwater for regional water plans and permitting.
Groundwater Management Area No. 9 includes Hays County as well as Bandera, Bexar, Blanco, Comal, Kendall, Kerr, Medina and Travis counties.
