The Edwards Aquifer Authority (EAA) internship program gives students the opportunity to gain real-world experience while exploring careers in science, engineering, communications, policy, and other water-resource fields. Each semester, interns join teams across the organization and contribute to ...meaningful projects that support EAA’s mission to manage, enhance, and protect the Edwards Aquifer. By working alongside staff mentors, interns build practical skills, deepen their understanding of the aquifer system, and see firsthand how science informs water stewardship in our region.

One recent group of Aquifer Science interns led a standout project at EAA’s Field Research Park, where they developed and implemented an atmospheric deposition monitoring effort from concept to completion. After researching best practices, the interns designed a site-specific sampling approach, installed collection equipment, and established procedures for ongoing monitoring and analysis at EAA’s Field Research Park. The project strengthens EAA’s ability to track airborne inputs (such as nitrates) into the aquifer. This project highlights the lasting impact interns can have on EAA science initiatives.

Aquifer Science interns also contribute to field and laboratory efforts. Recent work has included assisting with geophysical data collection at the Field Research Park, designing a method to analytically measure total suspended solids in EAA’s Camden Laboratory as part of Project SCAR, and helping build a weir to support our hydrologic monitoring. These experiences allow interns to apply classroom knowledge, develop technical confidence, and directly support our ongoing aquifer research efforts. Through its internship program, EAA invests in the next generation of water professionals while advancing its mission-driven work. Interns leave with valuable experience, mentorship, and a deeper connection to the Edwards Aquifer, which prepares them to contribute to sustainable water resource management in Texas and beyond.

Spring is the perfect time to step outside and explore—the EAA Education Outreach Center offers plenty of opportunities to do just that. As warmer temperatures arrive and plants begin to bloom, the outdoor spaces around the EOC come alive with activity, learning, and discovery.

The ...Aquifer Scavenger Hunt was originally designed to help students slow down and truly see the natural world around them. It’s not uncommon to hear students say "there’s nothing there” when they first step outside. But with a list in hand, searching for pollinators, native plants, and wildlife quickly becomes a game - and a springtime adventure that reveals just how much is happening all around them.

As the season unfolds, visitors will find both new features and familiar favorites waiting just beyond the doors of the EOC.
