The Edwards Aquifer is more than a water source — it’s a living story that connects our past, present and future. It’s the reason settlers came to this area, and it’s the lifeblood of our growth. Our aquifer is a resource we can study and learn from. It’s an incredible wonder, and it’s why we’re here.
Dive into deeper discovery through education.
There’s so much to explore at the EAA Education Outreach Center. We’ve got a hub of interactive exhibits and hands-on activities designed to inspire a deeper connection to the water that sustains our region.

Did you know there’s a massive cistern hiding in plain sight at the Edwards Aquifer Authority HQ? Since 2012, this tank has quietly collected hundreds of thousands of gallons of water over the years straight from roof rainfall runoff and the HVAC condensate!💧
That reclaimed water is ...then used to irrigate the EAA grounds, which are filled with beautiful, drought-tolerant and Texas native plants.🌿🌞
Remember, water conservation doesn’t always require big systems - sometimes, it starts with the small stuff:
🪥 Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth
🚿 Take shorter showers
🌼 Plant native species in your yard
Every drop matters and big or small, conservation takes us all.💙

"So our farm is family. I tell people the three F’s - Faith, Family, and Farm. Those are the three things I feel strongly about."💙
At McFadin Farms in Uvalde, TX, farming isn’t just about crops - it’s about legacy. On this Father’s Day, we’re honoring the generations... of dads, like Nathan and Archie, who remind us that it’s not just about what you grow, but who you grow with. 🌾
With center pivot irrigation, McFadin Farms is cultivating corn, cotton, cabbage, cucumbers, wheat, and sunflowers more efficiently - protecting water, soil, and the future for the next generation.
Big thanks to PepsiCo U.S. Beverages and U.S. Foods for supporting the Edwards Aquifer Authority’s Groundwater Conservation Program and helping families like this thrive.
