Groundwater Conservation District Aims to Keep Water in Aquifer
The new district covers an area from the Colorado River south almost to the city of Kyle. The eastern boundary roughly follows IH35 & the western edge extends almost to FM 1626.

With the creation of this new groundwater conservation district, voters endorse the need to create and enforce water resource management rules in the Edwards Aquifer region that feeds into Barton Springs.
Without this conservation district someone could literally pump the aquifer dry and no one could do a thing about it.
— Roger Duncan, Co-Chair Texans for Aquifer Protection, 1987
