This book was released on 2017-05-07 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Edwards Aquifer in south-central Texas is the primary source of water for one of the fastest growing cities in the United States, San Antonio, and it also supplies irrigation water to thousands of farmers and livestock operators. It is also is the source water for several springs and rivers, including the two largest freshwater springs in Texas that form the San Marcos and Comal Rivers. The unique habitat afforded by these spring-fed rivers has led to the development of species that are found in no other locations on Earth. Due to the potential for variations in spring flow caused by both human and natural causes, these species are continuously at risk and have been recognized as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act(ESA). In an effort to manage the river systems and the aquifer that controls them, the Edwards Aquifer Authority and stakeholders have developed a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). The HCP seeks to effectively manage the river-aquifer system to ensure the viability of the ESA-listed species in the face of drought, population growth, and other threats to the aquifer. The National Research Council was asked to assist in this process by reviewing the activities around implementing the HCP. Review of the Edwards Aquifer Habitat Conservation Plan: Report 2 reviews the progress in implementing the recommendations from the Committee's first report, seeking to clarify and provide additional support for implementation efforts where appropriate. The current report also reviews selected Applied Research projects and minimization and mitigation measures to help ensure their effectiveness in benefiting the listed species.

Download or read book A Guide to Wellhead Protection written by Jonathan Douglas Witten and published by American Planning Association. This book was released on 1995 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many reasons to protect groundwater. More than half of the United States relies on it for drinking water. The population of the U.S. has increased by 20 million in the past 10 years, while the amount of groundwater available for consumption has remained the same. One gallon of gasoline can contaminate 1 million gallons of groundwater. And the cost of contamination clean up far exceeds that of a prevention program. This report provides the information needed to start a wellhead protection program. It reviews the fundamentals of water hydrology, the causes and effects of contamination, wellhead management and protection, and financial strategies available to communities interested in starting a program. The report also includes a table of land uses and their potential contaminants, a matrix that describes regulatory and nonregulatory devices to be used in a program, and a sample ordinance.
