Threats

If the pollution at Edwards Aquifer is not contained, I predict that their will be another outbreak like the one that occurred in San Antonio, Texas in 1984. Where 80 people were sickened by the contamination of feces found in the aquifer.

Why is Edwards plateau valuable?

In my opinion, I believe that Edwards Plateau is a valuable ecoregion because of the underground lakes known as Edwards Aquifer. The importance of Edwards Aquifer is that it is the primary water supply for agriculture and industries in that region. In addition, it is the source of drinking water for two million people. Which is a necessity for survival of the human race, recreation and domestic needs, industries need the water to help with fabricating, diluting a product, washing, cooling and transportation and agriculture needs the water for irrigation. While Edwards Plateau provides this natural resource (underground lakes) Trans Pecos does not provide much water. The water that is provided in this region comes from the rainfalls, which is less than 12 inches of rain.Because of the lack of water this ecoregion it is dry with little to no vegetation. Even though, Post Oak Savannah’s rainfall is 28 to 40 inches of rain and provides water to their cattle ranching and native grassland it does not nearly compare to Edwards Aquifer.

Solution

If the counties that surround Edwards Plateau would work together and provide funds needed to inspect, maintain and replace storage tanks then this should help prevent the pollution over spilling into Edwards Aquifer.
