Where does the Edwards Aquifer get its water from?
The Edwards Aquifer receives its water when it rains over an area that we call the Recharge Zone. The Recharge Zone is made up of cracks, faults, and caves in the Earth and when rain falls over the Recharge Zone, rainwater flows into these “recharge features” and down into the Edwards Aquifer. That is why it is so important to have rain in the San Antonio area, over the Recharge Zone to keep our aquifer filled.
