HOW WILL THE AQUIFER BENEFIT?
In addition to Monday night’s rain, we also saw some great rain fall along the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone Saturday, Nov. 2. It takes a couple of days for the water to filter into the aquifer, but so far we’ve seen a small rise in San Antonio’s main source of water. Unfortunately, since the aquifer is still more than 30 ft below average, it will take much more rain to return the aquifer to healthy levels. Still, take a look at how much rain has fallen along the recharge zone since Saturday — impressive! READ MORE: How does the Edwards Aquifer work & why is it so heavily regulated? KSAT Explains
