Book Assessment and Conceptualization of Groundwater Flow in the Edwards Aquifer Through the Knippa Gap in Uvalde County  Texas

Download or read book Assessment and Conceptualization of Groundwater Flow in the Edwards Aquifer Through the Knippa Gap in Uvalde County Texas written by Jennifer Raye Adkins and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Edwards aquifer is one of the major regional karst aquifers in the United States, with an average withdrawal of 950 million liters per day (L/d). This investigation focuses on the connection between the Uvalde pool and the San Antonio pool of the Edwards aquifer, known as the Knippa Gap, west of the San Antonio metropolitan area in Uvalde County. This is a major zone of recharge to the Edwards aquifer and is approximately 6.4 km wide. The Knippa Gap is bounded by northeast trending faults of the Balcones Fault Zone (BFZ) on the north (specifically the Cooks and Trio Faults), and uplift from the Uvalde salient and igneous intrusive plugs to the south. Aspects of the hydrogeology in the Knippa Gap have been a topic of major interest among researchers in this area for numerous years, however, the exact location and nature of boundaries are undefined, and the discharge through this area is not accurately known. The input data from this investigation will allow for assessments of discharge, better water budget approximations for the San Antonio pool, and determination of accurate flow boundaries and budgets for Uvalde County. This investigation was limited to the transmissive (karstified) portion of the Edwards aquifer within the study area, and is based on previous studies, and newly collected data. The newly collected data include: 1) compilation of a complete table of wells within the study area; 2) redefined placement of flow boundaries (faults) most of which appear to be structurally controlled; 3) hydrostratigraphic analysis of the Knippa Gap area based on drilling and wireline logs; 4) characterization of the depth of karstification within the Knippa Gap; and 5) analyses of water quality within and contiguous to the study area. These data constrain a revised conceptual model of the flow and karstification in this critical area of recharge to the Edwards aquifer, and provide specific lateral boundaries and vertical karstification zones which can be tested quantitatively. Although current interpretations are tentative, it appears this conceptual model will be readily convertible into a digital model that can test hypotheses relating to water levels and spring discharges.

Book Review of the Edwards Aquifer Habitat Conservation Plan

Download or read book Review of the Edwards Aquifer Habitat Conservation Plan written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-06-10 with total page 178 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 1 is the first stage of a three-stage study. This report reviews the scientific efforts that are being conducted to help build a better understanding of the river-aquifer system and its relationship to the ESA-listed species. These efforts, which include monitoring and modeling as well as research on key uncertainties in the system, are designed to build a better understanding of how best to manage and protect the system and the endangered species. Thus, the current report is focused specifically on a review of the hydrologic modeling, the ecological modeling, the water quality and biological monitoring, and the Applied Research Program. The fundamental question that Review of the Edwards Aquifer Habitat Conservation Plan: Report 1 addresses is whether the scientific initiatives appropriately address uncertainties and fill knowledge gaps in the river-aquifer system and the species of concern. It is hoped that the successful completion of these scientific initiatives will ultimately lead the Edwards Aquifer Authority to an improved understanding of how to manage the system and protect these species.
