There are two new, advanced monitor wells in the Jacob's Well Groundwater Management Zone. A great video by Texas Water Development Board features interviews by Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District and Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conservation District (BSEACD) staff and explains how groundwater sampling helps document aquifer dynamics. The Watershed Association supported the mulitport monitor well installation by providing the location for the well itself on one of our conservation lands. This is much needed data to help protect Jacob's Well, Cypress Creek, and local groundwater supplies.youtu.be/j1KjdHzgJiI ... See MoreSee Less

Learn how @Nomadic Beerworks contributes to responsible water management through various methods and initiatives throughout their entire beer production process!🍺 FRIDAY🍺 We’re making waves for the The Texas Brewshed Alliance with our newest IPA release, “RIPPLE”💧.We collaborated to further their efforts to ensure cleaner water for Texans, through water management & land conservation. .As a brewery, we have implemented water recapture techniques to reuse water at multiple stages in brewing and we have agreed to let a group of PhD students, working for the Brewshed Alliance, use our facility for research..In order to highlight how ingredient selection also can play a role in water conservation, Ripple IPA highlights the Neomexicanus hops, a native drought tolerant species which requires less watering and has a very pleasant fruit and spice note. .It’s a drop in the bucket, but we believe enough small ripple can create a big wave 🌊 🍻#atxbeer #beerstoabetterworld #conservation ...
