Education and Outreach Programs
• Video presentations outlining the role of the Groundwater
  District and the importance of the Trinity Aquifer.
• HTGCD website upgrade including District activities, monitor
  wells/hydrographs, drought status, online forms for well
  registration and much more.
• Presentations to local schools, property owners and
  professional societies on groundwater issues.
• Newspaper articles and signage regarding water
  conservation.
• Personal contacts in the office and in the field with public
  officials, business owners, drilling contractors and more.
Joint effort data
                                                                collection,
                                                                interpretation,

                                                                technical report.




Geologic Base Map: Hydrogeologic Atlas of the Trinity Aquifer
Data Gathering and Field Activities
• Monitor water levels in 40 plus wells: e-line and transducers
• Hydrographs developed from water levels & compared with
  rainfall data. Critical data base for local aquifer description
• Well data base essential for GMA 9/DFC stewardship.
• Use, presentation and distribution of “Hydrogeologic Atlas of
  the Hill Country Trinity Aquifer” and “Austin Geological
  Society Guidebook 33”; published with HTGCD participation
• Ongoing acquisition and interpretation of geophysical logs
  and cuttings samples
• Close working relationship and data exchange with
  neighboring groundwater districts, TWDB and other agencies
HTGCD Monitor Wells

Monthly water level measurements
and wells with transducers



  • Install telemetry well with
    TWDB assistance

  • Plan to add additional
    Lower Trinity monitor
    wells & new transducers


   • Data base for GMA-9 DFC
     drawdown monitor


                   June 2012
Hydrograph
Water Level Elevation vs. Time




   Time Frame : 1999 To June 2012
Technology: Lower Trinity Project
• Groundwater production in Hays Co. is primarily from Middle
  Trinity Aquifer. Dry weather (lack of recharge) and added
  domestic wells (increased discharge) result in production
  from aquifer storage and declining water levels.
• Middle Trinity in northern Hays Co. dewatered. New, deep
  wells (700’ – 900’)drilled to test Lower Trinity. Questions on
  water quality and quantity.
• Modest water level declines in south impact creeks, springs
  and shallow wells. Dry weather and new domestic wells put
  strain on Middle Trinity Aquifer and base flow to creeks.
  Several new, deep wells test water from Lower Trinity
• Drought Options: conservation, rain water collection,
  production limits on domestic wells & alternate water source.
Edwards Aquifer


Upper Trinity Aquifer




Middle Trinity Aquifer




Lower Trinity Aquifer
Lower Trinity Project: North and South
• Evaluate quality and quantity of Lower Trinity
  groundwater in Hays County: collect & analyze water
  samples, subsurface data & aquifer test results.
• Establish additional water-level monitor wells producing
  from the Lower Trinity. Add borehole transducers and
  telemetry stations to data grid.
• Lower Trinity Aqua Texas Woodcreek 24 Well - 2012
• Incorporate, share and interpret data base with BSEAGD,
  BPGCD, TWDB/TCEQ and GMA-9 to standardize data sets
  and evaluate the Lower Trinity Aquifer across political
  boundaries.
How does a small groundwater district , with limited
funds and a minimal staff, carry out any programs other
than simply keeping the office open and compliant with
required regulatory obligations and business norms?

With lots of help from their friends!!
Our thanks to the County, neighboring groundwater
conservation districts, the staff of multiple local & State
agencies, local water well drilling and public water
supply companies, professional volunteers, the local
business community and interested property owners.
Share the water with your neighbors




      Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District
Critical Questions for Another Day
• Who is going to do all of this work?
• How are you going to pay for these programs?
• What about the “Desired Future Conditions” and GMA-9
  “Drawdown” issues?
• How does the Trinity Aquifer impact eastern Hays Co?
• How is this going to add any new water to the County?
• What about the Environment? Who is going to “save”
  Jacob’s Well? What about Property Rights, Global
  Warming and the recent Supreme Court ruling?
• Thanks for listening and for your support

  1. Good morning Judge, commissioners, ladies and gentlemen. My name is …………………….. and I am …….. of the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District. We plan to take the next few minutes to discuss some of the district’s currently active and planned Education and Technology programs.
  2. Sometimes education and technology can be brought together. Austin Geological Society Field Trip and Guidebook 33 publication. HTGCD participation.
