  1. 2014 Drought Outreach Workgroup Introduction

  2. Herald Zeitung August 13, 2013 The big spring ceased bubbling in mid-August, a victim, observers say, of the lingering drought and the increased pressure growth is putting on the Edwards Aquifer, the subterranean water supply that feeds the popular landmark in Landa Park.

  3. The purpose of the DOW is to consider and evaluate potential outreach strategies that could be utilized by Implementing Committee members in a coordinated manner to collaboratively raise awareness and understanding, by providing the public with information and updates about current drought conditions, HCP conservation measures and springflow protection measure implementation.

  4. These outreach strategies recommended, must have a specific date, flow level, index well level, river condition, or other defined trigger for implementation or distribution

  5. Each Implementing Committee member has appointed a representative • At any point the DOW members can request additional information to be presented • EAHCP PM will facilitate these meetings and give regular updates back to the IC • DOW will be organized on a consensus so in the event you are unable to make the meeting be sure your alternate is present.
