The Edwards Aquifer Authority is a political subdivision of the State of Texas charged with managing, enhancing, and protecting the Edwards Aquifer system. It is governed by a 17-member board representing eight counties in the region. Multidisciplinary teams—including geologists, hydro-geologists, environmental scientists, environmental technicians, educators, and administrative staff—collaborate to safeguard the aquifer for roughly two million South Texans who rely on it as their primary water source. Based in San Antonio, Texas, the authority operates within the water resource management sector, focusing on the Edwards Aquifer and related programs. The organization emphasizes public outreach and partnerships to support conservation and informed water use. In 2021, it partnered with Morgan’s Wonderland Camp to support inclusive recreational opportunities, reflecting its engagement with local communities.
