Hill Country Water Resources include the rivers, streams, creeks, and aquifers found in Central Texas. The Hill Country Water Resources Guide is a reference directory of entities meant for use by any water professional or individuals looking for water information in the region.
This Hill Country Water Resources Guide is a work in progress, and our intention is to update and expand the contents to reflect ongoing changes to expertise in future editions. If you have comments, or if you would like to offer materials to be included in future editions of the water resources guide, please contact us at MeadowsCenter@txstate. edu. Currently, the Guide is only available electronically on this website.
I ABOUT THE MEADOWS CENTER FOR WATER & THE ENVIRONMENT
The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment’s core mission is to develop and promote programs and techniques for ensuring sustainable water resources for human needs, ecosystem health and economic development. The Meadows Center is committed to helping protect and conserve water resources while promoting economic development and social well-being by:
advancing scientific and technical knowledge through research on aquatic resources;
identifying and analyzing socio-economic and political issues affecting water use;
guiding the development of environmentally sustainable public water policy in Texas; and cultivating public awareness and education about water resource issues.
The main focus of The Meadows Center is to promote a holistic approach to the management of water and the environment that affects it, where key principles of sustainability and equitable use guide sound water policy.
