SUMMARY:The Edwards Aquifer: Our Unique Treasure
DESCRIPTION:Annalisa Peace\, Executive Director of Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance\, will speak to us about how the Edwards Aquifer is the lifeblood for dozens of communities and millions of people in Central and South Central Texas. Over 60 species of plants and animals live here and nowhere else on the planet. Blind salamanders\, catfish\, crustaceans\, and other “cave critters” have evolved in isolated habitat “islands” within the aquifer\, in the dry caves above the water table\, and at the Great Springs.
