🤔 True or False: The Edwards Aquifer is a giant underground lake.

❌ False! The Edwards Aquifer isn't a single underground lake but a network of conduits, caves, and porous Edwards limestone that stores and transports water. Rainfall replenishes it, supporting millions of ...South-Central Texans, iconic springs, and unique ecosystems.

💙 Understanding how it works is crucial for its protection.

🛟 What does “refugia” mean?

Derived from the Latin word refugium, it means shelter or refuge.
The Edwards Aquifer Refugia Program (EARP) maintains protected, off-site populations of covered species at the San Marcos Aquatic Resource Center (SMARC) in San Marcos, TX and the ...Uvalde National Fish Hatchery (UNFH) in Uvalde, TX. These backup populations help safeguard vulnerable species if a catastrophic event threatens their natural habitat in the Comal or San Marcos springs systems.

It’s one more way science and collaboration help protect the Edwards Aquifer ecosystem.
