Water connects communities, supports local economies, sustains ecosystems, and helps make the places we gather possible.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of our agency! Back on June 28, 1996 the EAA first came to be, and as the years have gone by the mission remains the same - manage, enhance, and protect the Edwards Aquifer. 💙

“Three decades into this mission, the focus of our work hasn’t ...necessarily changed. But our approach and the perceptions of what we do certainly have. I believe that now more than ever our work is acknowledged as necessary and it’s appreciated for how it has helped to secure our region’s water future. It’s this impact that lies at the crux of our vision of the next generation -- one where the aquifer is sustained, accessible and reliable for all of us. That’s more than just a job; it’s a purpose we can all embrace.” – Roland Ruiz
