Hydrologic Conditions: Texas, September 2015

San Antonio Pool: The J-17 Well elevation continued to fall. Heavy rain and flooding this spring provided a two-month respite from all pumping restrictions. But Stage 1 restrictions were imposed at the end of June. In mid-August, EAA announced a return to Stage 2 restrictions, which require all permit holders in the pool to reduce their annual authorized pumping by 30%.
