Did you know the Edwards Aquifer is made up of three unique zones that each play a crucial role in our groundwater system?

🌿 Contributing Zone - This is where rainfall collects and begins its journey toward the aquifer. Think of it as nature’s gathering point.
🪨 Recharge Zone -... Here, water seeps through cracks and sinkholes in Edwards Limestone, filtering down to replenish the aquifer below.
💦 Artesian Zone - Deep underground, water is stored under pressure and often flows freely to wells and springs, like nature’s own faucet!

Understanding these zones helps us protect and preserve this vital resource. Stay tuned for more aquifer facts!
