AUSTIN — Following increased rainfall, hydrogeologist technician Justin Camp provided the Barton Springs Edwards-Aquifer Conservation District (BSEACD) Board of Directors with an aquifer status report at its Thursday, May 14, meeting.

The total April rainfall averaged approximately 5 inches — about 2.5 inches above the longterm monthly average — between Camp Mabry and Austin Bergstrom International Airport. This marks the first time the district has been over its monthly rainfall average since July 2025, Camp presented.

“May is typically our wettest month of the year and so far, we've received 3.2 inches of the monthly average of 5 inches,” he noted. “So, we are on pace to see that 5 inches throughout May.”
