Title
Consider EAA staff recommendation to approve the agenda for the March 10, 2020 technical briefing.
Body
STAFF RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move the Executive Committee approve the draft agenda for the March 10, 2020, technical briefing.
SUMMARY:
The purpose of this agenda item is for the Executive Committee to consider approval of a draft agenda for the March 10, 2020, technical briefing. The technical briefing will consist of a presentation from Mr. Michael Young, PhD, with the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin regarding Diffuse Recharge to the Edwards-Trinity Aquifer: Results, Importance, and Future Monitoring. Diffuse recharge occurs through soils and surface karst features and between rivers/springs, and can contribute to existing groundwater resources. Estimates of diffuse recharge vary widely in time and location, making accurate estimates difficult. Monitoring weather and soil water conditions for the last several years at Camp Bullis has provided us with vital data and information that improves diffuse recharge estimates, and its contributions to groundwater resources in the area. The results of this study and benefits of future monitoring across the EAA area will be presented and discussed.
STRATEGIC PLAN REFERENCE:
This agenda item does not relate to a specific goal or action step within the Strategic Plan, but supports the general EAA mission.
