Brewster County Groundwater Conservation District is hoping water well operators, residential or otherwise, will get involved with the organization’s groundwater research efforts. The district is tasked to manage, protect, and conserve groundwater resources, while protecting property rights and promoting constructive and sustainable development across the county. At a recent commissioners court meeting, Conservation District General Manager Summer Webb stressed the value of obtaining a wider network of well data. Besides collecting well data, the district is co-hosting a water quality testing event with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service May 4-5. Well water samples will be screened for common contaminants including fecal coliform, bacteria, nitrates, and high salinity, followed by an explanation of the results. To inquire about research opportunities, or to register for the water quality testing event, email Webb at bcgwcd@gmail.com.
