The Wimberley Valley Watershed Association is a non-profit organization located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, born out of a love for water.

WVWA has been working since 1996 to keep Jacob’s Well, the headwaters of Cypress Creek, clean, clear, and flowing for generations to come.

Our vision is to create a greater understanding community-wide of the many benefits that flow from a respectful relationship with the land: human health, ecological health, economic sustainability, enriched community life, and the renewal of the human spirit.

The US Drought Monitor is the go-to source for drought outlook. One of the key considerations in drought forecasting is soil moisture. Soils absorb rainfall until they're saturated, then they allow runoff. That runoff translates to recharge in karst landscapes like the Texas Hill Country. The soil moisture deficit in Central Texas shows we'll need a lot of rain (hopefully slow and steady over many days) to saturate our soils and generate much needed recharge.Find out more at NOAA's Drought Monitor website: www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/soilmst/img/curr.w.mrf1.daily.gif ...

After a little boost from rain this week, Jacob's Well daily average is estimated at 0.9cfs on Thurs. Jan 21. The EAA Weather Station near Burnet Ranches registered 0.22 inches of rain this week which gave a bit of a boost to flow. The USGS verified the flow record at Jacob's Well and have fine tuned the discharge rating with a manual measurement. So, the science is as accurate as we can make it. Now we just need water use as efficient as we can get it. Please help conserve! Check on conditions and read more details on our *updated today* January Hydro Report. Happy Friday and do a rain dance if you're feeling jazzy!wimberleywatershed.org/impactareas/watershedprotection/water-monitoring/ ... See MoreSee Less

Trinity aquifer springs supply the baseflow to the upper reaches of the Blanco River. In early 2015 when this video was made, baseflow from the springs shown was close to 38 cubic feet per second (cfs). Earlier this week, the baseflow from those same springs was close to 12 cfs and Jacob's Well flow was approaching zero.Drought happens in the Hill Country. These springs are useful indicators of groundwater storage and provide essential baseflow to iconic creeks and rivers--especially in dry times. Water conservation and wise water use are particularly critical as population increases in the Hill Country.www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC4A4HaH2jEThank you for sharing information on monitor efforts Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conservation District (BSEACD) and Edwards Aquifer Authority (EAA)! ...
