Take advantage of the Trinity Glen Rose District's conservation program incentives. DROUGHT INFORMATION TGR Drought and Conservation Management Plan Managing Drought PDF Trinity Glen Rose District Moves to STAGE 2 Drought Restrictions Published June 25, 2026 After considering rising levels in the Trinity Aquifer monitoring wells due to significant rainfall over the past several months, the Trinity Glen Rose Groundwater Conservation District (TGR) will be moving from Drought Stage 3 to Stage 2 of its drought management plan. “The District is pleased to report that with more rain in the long-term forecast and the recent downpours replenishing the District’s monitoring wells, we’ve decided to go to Stage 2 of our drought plan which is a reduction from the highest level drought Stage 3 which we’ve been in since November 1, 2024,” said TGR General Manager Amanda Maloukis. “There is still more room for wells to recover, so we are going to be a bit cautious in our drought approach over the next several months. We just published an article about a “Super El Niño” possibly bringing a strong rainy season later in 2026 to Texas. While we all hope that this much needed rain continues throughout the rest of the year, we haven’t reached a point of saying this current five-to-six year drought is over.” From a water conservation standpoint, the District is urging home and business owners to take maximum advantage of the recent precipitation by keeping automatic sprinkler systems off and only hand watering where necessary. The soil is still fairly saturated with water and plants know how to access that water, so there is no need to waste water by putting more on landscapes now. You can read more about the TGR District Drought Plan at: www.TrinityGlenRose.com/drought . STAGE 2 Drought Measures (Includes all measures of STAGE 1 and Year-Round Conservation) 1. Water use reduction goal of 10%. 2. Watering with a hand-held hose may occur any time and any day. 3. Watering with a spray irrigation system, sprinkler, or soaker hose is allowed to only once a week, from 5-10 a.m. and 9 p.m.-12 a.m. on your designated watering day as determined by your address in Stage 1. 4. Watering with drip irrigation may run up to two days a week on Monday and Friday, before 10 a.m. or after 9 p.m. Year-round Conservation Measures This stage is what most people would consider normal seasonal climate conditions for the area. Year-round watering rules are in effect when no drought conditions are active. The District strongly encourages homeowners, home owner associations, homebuilders and/or developers, exempt or non-exempt well users to incorporate these conservation practices. Specifically, the incorporation of the following best management practices: 1. Rain Sensors - rain sensors should be installed and maintained on all irrigation systems equipped with automatic irrigation controls and inspected annually. 2. Xeriscape Option - Homebuilders and/or developers subdividing lots and/or constructing new single family residential homes should offer a xeriscape option in any series of landscaping options offered to prospective home buyers. 3. Rainwater Harvesting Systems - Homebuilders, developers, Homeowner Associations, and homeowners should consider the installation of rain harvesting systems. Rain harvesting systems can reduce reliance on common water supplies with a low-cost investment. 4. Improve the quality of home irrigation systems - Homeowners, Homeowner Associations, homebuilders, and developers should consider installing or replacing irrigation systems with an efficient system. This can lessen the strain on groundwater resources. This article was published November 1, 2024 TGR District Moves to Drought Stage 3 With water well levels already near historic lows and fall rainfall deficits at around five inches, the Trinity Glen Rose Groundwater Conservation District (TGR) declared STAGE 3 water restrictions in compliance with the District’s Drought Contingency Plan effective as of Friday, November 1. “We are seeing very negative trends in our Trinity Aquifer monitoring water well levels continue. Additionally, we’re seeing that same type of problem with the Edwards Aquifer,” said TGR General Manager Amanda Maloukis. “So as the Edwards Aquifer Authority is considering for the first time ever declaring Stage 5 of their drought plan, we know that it is critical for us to declare Stage 3 of our drought plan. These two drought stages are the highest levels of required conservation measures and they’re being invoked due to our persistent drought which has prevented water wells from replenishing to get us back to somewhat normal water levels.” Since September 1, San Antonio has recorded a little less than 1.5 inches of rain. That’s 5 inches below average for the first eight weeks of fall. This is also the driest start to fall since 2008 which was also one of the area’s toughest droughts. As of now, it has been two months since any rain has fallen in San Antonio. Given those very dry conditions, the current US Drought Monitor lists the majority of Bexar County as being in (D3)-Extreme Drought . “How can people help our aquifers? First of all, the growing season has stopped, so there should absolutely be no lawn watering happening,” Maloukis stated in her call to action. “Even though our Stage 3 irrigation measures limit watering to once every other two weeks, that restriction is really written for summer months when landscapes do need a little water to stay alive. So, please, turn off all sprinkler systems and hand water only where and when necessary. Then, we would ask families to talk about conserving water. We can save a lot of water by taking short showers, washing only full loads of clothes and dishes and never just letting a faucet run. You must have an active purpose for using water to turn the faucet on.” Maloukis concluded by reminding people that droughts are a part of living in South Texas. And, at some point, those droughts end with plentiful rainfall. But, until that much needed precipitation returns, it is up to every family and business operation to take these water conserving measures seriously. The conservation measures outlined and strongly encouraged under TGR’s Stage 3 drought plan include all conservation measures from Stage’s 1 and 2 unless replaced by Stage 3: Watering with an irrigation system, sprinkler, or soaker hose is allowed once every other week, from 5- 10 a.m. and 9-12 p.m. on your designated watering day as determined by your address. Watering with drip irrigation may run one day a week, on Friday, from 5-10 a.m. or 9-12 p.m. Watering with a hand-held hose may occur any time and any day. Water use reduction goal of 15%. Installing newly planted landscapes is highly discouraged. Aesthetic fountains should not be utilized unless an alternative source of water other than groundwater. Do not wash parking lots, driveways or sidewalks unless health and safety is a risk. The use of a commercial car wash facility that recycles water is allowed any day. Alternate sources of water are highly encouraged such as rain water harvesting, reclaimed condensate, reclaimed grey water, recycled water, and other non-groundwater sources. Below is a chart outlining the day of the week your household is allowed to water, which is every other week during Stage 3 drought restrictions. But, as mentioned, with the landscape growing season over for 2024, there should not be any lawn watering with sprinkler systems occurring now.

Camp Bullis Sentinel Landscape Regional Conservation Partnership Program Learn about Land Management Priorities The priorities of this project involve addressing ecological resource concerns that will benefit both the mission of Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis and the land stewards and residents in the project area. Land Management Resource Concerns The ecological concerns and priorities in the project area are water quality and conservation, plant health and restoration of our native plant communities, soil quality, and improving habitat for grazing and wildlife. Land Management Practices To address these resource concerns, eligible practices are selected as the tools and processes to get conservation on the ground. Eligible land management practices will focus on water quality and riparian health including planting and protecting vegetative buffers around waterways. Waterways that are named and flowing into Camp Bullis will have a higher priority for funding. Other practices will be used to improve and restore upland communities. These practices will include prescribed grazing, selective brush management, and native plant restoration for wildlife and pollinator species. Practices will be also used to improve soil health. Our project specialists will meet with you and design a conservation plan that will specifically meet your needs and the needs of the land. Funding will be attached to these conservation plans to aid in implementation. Read more by clicking on this link.

RECHARGE ENHANCEMENT From Rain to Recharge Aquifer recharge enhancement (ARE), also known as Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) or Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR), is the intentional human process of adding water (like stormwater, treated wastewater, or surface water) to aquifers to replenish groundwater supplies, buffer against drought, and improve water security. Methods include infiltration basins, injection wells, and in-channel modifications, with benefits like reduced evaporation, water treatment as it percolates, and cost-effectiveness compared to surface reservoirs. The Trinity Aquifer recharges slowly from rainfall on its outcrop areas and seepage from streams, with water moving through its complex fractures and layers, unlike the faster Edwards Aquifer, with recharge rates varying greatly by region, often only 4-6% of rain, and is affected by urban development reducing natural infiltration, making artificial recharge efforts crucial for sustainability. Watch the general water cycle 3-D model simulation below to see how precipitation falls on the Earth's surface, collects in rivers and creeks running across the land and then recharges an aquifer, like the Trinity Aquifer, through fractures and sinkholes in the riverbed. The rainfall then makes it way through various fissures in the various rock formations that make up the aquifer. Healthy soil and vegetation improve the land’s ability to absorb water. Trinity Aquifer Recharge Occurrence - How Recharge Occurs Precipitation & Streams : Rain falling directly on the aquifer's exposed (unconfined) areas, as well as water seeping from rivers and ponds where the ground slopes downward, replenishes it. Karst Features : Water travels through fractures, bedding planes, and solution cavities (karst) in the limestone, allowing for both rapid flow and localized storage. Inter-Aquifer Flow : Some water can also move from the overlying Edwards Aquifer down into the Trinity in certain areas, though this is less significant than direct recharge. Recharge rates are not uniform; some sections replenish quickly, while others take much longer, making management challenging. Common Recharge Enhancement Techniques Berms and Swales – To slow and sink water. Rock or Brush Structures – To slow and sink water. Grassed Waterways – Shaped Channels lined with vegetation that slow rainfall runoff and encourage infiltration. Check Dams – Small barriers placed in drainage ways that slow water, spread it out, and increase soak-in time. Rangeland Restoration – Improving soil health and perennial vegetation so the land absorbs more rainfall. Recharge Basins – Engineer shallow basins that temporarily hold stormwater, letting it soak in instead of running off. Brush Control - removal of invasive brush species such as juniper, mesquite, and salt cedar is used to increase water yield and aquifer recharge. (See more near the bottom of this page) The video below is a segment from a Trinity Glen Rose District sponsored Go Gardening Show. The video was shot at the Edwards Aquifer Field Research Park in Northern Bexar County along the Cibolo Creek. You'll get a great look at how berms, swales, small rock dams, enhanced vegetation and shallow recharge basin s help move water from rain to recharge. Cibolo Creek in Northern Bexar County Cibolo Creek in Northern Bexar County Cibolo Creek is a major Recharge feature to the Trinity Aquifer Recharge for the Trinity Group of Aquifers occurs via local precipitation on its outcrop. The outcrop area takes in recharge flow from the Cibolo Creek and other overlying units where it is in the subsurface. When Cibolo Creek has water in the stretches along northern Bexar County, the movement of water from the creek into the groundwater are substantial and serve as a significant recharge source to the Trinity Aquifer in the District. Although this rapid recharge can occur in other isolated areas of the Trinity Aquifer in the Hill Country, it is a dominant recharge mechanism in the District. The substantial volume of recharge that periodically occurs during wet periods and flooding along Cibolo Creek creates relatively large variations in water levels in the Trinity Aquifer in the District. Helpful Resources - From Rain to Recharge Soil Erosion is a form of soil degradation in which the top layer of soil is carried away by wind and water. Rain and channelized water flow dislodge and wash exposed soil downhill. This cumulative loss of soil poses a major challenge to landowners and managers. The Hillside Stewardship guide highlights a series of erosion-control structures that Hill Country landowners and managers are using to slow and sink water into the land. Just click on the cover photo of the guide to the left to download it. If you'd prefer a video on the topic, you can watch the "Hill Country Groundwater Recharge With Bryan Hummel " by clicking the video link. Brush Control Texas brush control, specifically targeting species like juniper, mesquite, and saltcedar, is used to increase water yield and aquifer recharge by reducing excessive transpiration. The Water Supply Enhancement Program (WSEP) by the TSSWCB incentivizes managing these deep-rooted plants in priority areas to conserve water, improve spring flows, and reduce erosion. Brush Busters is a cooperative program of the Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Service to expedite the adoption of Tactical Brush Management Systems (TBMS) technology. Brush Busters methods are easily understood, even by those with little or no previous experience in brush control. We recommend only “select” treatments capable of killing at least 7 out of 10 of the plants treated. Brush Busters methods make every attempt to keep equipment costs and complexity to a minimum, and whenever possible, to use non-restricted herbicides. One-page pamphlets are available from most County Extension offices that describe, in a simple 3-step process, the Brush Busters control methods for mesquite, prickly pear and cedar. Videos are available that demonstrate the Brush Busters control methods available at this link, https://texnat.tamu.edu/about/brush-busters/.

Water Quality Testing Because no federal, state, or local entity ensures the safety of private well water, the responsibility for monitoring it falls to the well owner. The District recommends annual sampling of the well with a local lab to monitor the quality of your water. Baseline water quality results are important to have on record in the event a water quality event occurs. If you feel that your water has a quality issue and you are on a municipal supply, please contact your purveyor (e.g. City of Fair Oaks Ranch, Grey Forest Utilities, Southwest Water Co., Aqua Texas, SAWS, etc.). The photo below is from the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority lab. To test your well water, contact a certified water testing lab for instructions and a test kit.

Preventing Contamination Materials from many common facilities can contaminate a water well. Take steps to protect your well water from contamination sources. According to Texas law, the wellhead must be at least: 50 feet from any septic tank, cistern, property boundary, and/or non-potable well.], 100 feet from your septic drain field or any leach field, 150 feet from any feed storage area, pesticide or fertilizer storage area, or shelter or yard for pets or livestock, and, 250 feet from a manure stack or liquid waste disposal system. Further Reading Texas A&M Agrilife Extension: "Maintain Your Septic System to Protect Well Water " Texas A&M Agrilife Extension: "Protect Your Water Well During Drought " Texas A&M Agrilife Extension: "Well Owner's Guide to Water Supply " National Ground Water Association: "Well Owner Maintenance Practices " Plugging Abandoned Wells Under Texas law, the landowners are responsible for plugging abandoned wells on their property and are liable for any groundwater contamination or injury that results from the wells. Like other wells, an abandoned well is a direct channel from the ground surface to the aquifer below. Contaminants that enter the well move directly into the aquifer. If a concentrated chemical enters a well, it may move into the aquifer and threaten human health and the environment. It also puts other wells in the same aquifer at risk for contamination, particularly those on the same property or those close to the abandoned well. Before you begin the process of plugging an abandoned well, a plugging application must be submitted to the Trinity Glen Rose District. You will need to hire a licensed water well driller or pump installer to seal and plug the abandoned well. Major Flooding Can Contaminate Private Water Wells Large flood events, which South Texas is prone to, can contaminate your private water well. However, disinfection can eliminate or reduce harmful bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms that may be found in your drinking water after flooding in your area. If your well system is damaged, the following instructions for the disinfection process will not work. An indication that your well is damaged can be a decrease in water pressure once turned on. Contact a certified well or pump contractor for examination. It is extremely important not use contaminated water for: drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing in any form, washing clothes or dishes. After a flood, ingesting or being exposed to contaminated water can cause illness. If you think your well system may be contaminated, some alternative options for safe include: using bottled water, boiling water for five minutes, using water from a source you know is not contaminated. If your water well was subject to flooding, give the Trinity Glen Rose District a call for assistance in mitigating your flooded well (210-698-1155).

TGR Board Adopts Changes to Precinct Boundaries Redistricting is part of the election process in the United States. And because the Trinity Glen Rose Groundwater Conservation District’s (TGR) board members are elected, the district recently reviewed its population changes over the past 10-year period and found it needed to adjust its boundaries due to population shifts in the precincts. The objective is to balance the per capita representation for each precinct in order to give all district constituents an equal say via their elected representatives regarding district policies and future directions. The TGR Board used the following criteria to make its final boundary adjustments: begin and end with identifiable boundaries maintain communities of interest & neighborhoods use whole voting precincts if possible base plan on existing districts adopt districts of relatively equal size draw districts that are compact and contiguous keep existing incumbents in their districts to preserve previous voter wishes tailor plan to comply with the Voting Rights Act The Board opened its planning documents up for public review and comment. At the Dec. 4 board meeting, the Board held a public hearing to receive any final comments before taking official actions to change the TGR precinct boundaries. After a thorough planning process and public comment period, the TGR Board officially changed its boundaries to reflect a more consistent population base in each precinct. Due to the change in boundaries, the district will be holding an election to fill all precinct seats in May, 2022. Click here for more information. Please see the charts below which show the population unbalance before the boundaries were changed and then the chart with showed precinct populations in balance after the official changes were made to the precinct boundaries. These new boundaries will remain in place until the next U.S. census reports are received.

ABOUT THE TGR DISTRICT TGR Management Plan TGR District Brochure The Trinity Glen Rose Groundwater Conservation District (TGRGCD or District) was created for the purpose of conserving, preserving, recharging, protecting and preventing waste of groundwater from the Trinity Aquifer in Northern Bexar County. The District was also created in response to the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission designating a portion of the Trinity Aquifer within Bexar County as a Priority Groundwater Management Area (PGMA). The Trinity Glen Rose Groundwater Conservation District is the governing body of only that portion of the Trinity Aquifer that is located in northern Bexar County. This Aquifer is considered very important to the State of Texas and subject to the provisions in Chapter 35 of the Texas Water Code. The TNRCC designated this area a PGMA in January 2001 and created the TGRGCD in order that appropriate groundwater management techniques and strategies could be implemented at the local level to address groundwater issues or problems within the District. A PGMA designation is given to an area “that is experiencing, or is expected to experience critical groundwater problems.” One of the primary reasons that a PGMA was designated in this area is the explosive growth in North Bexar and surrounding counties. The duty of the TGR Board members will be to ensure that the water in the aquifer is managed in a reasoned and balanced manner to allow for growth in the area, while still preserving the ability of residents or their water suppliers to draw water for their families. The District will conduct administrative and technical activities and programs to achieve these purposes. The District will collect and archive water well and aquifer data, regulate water well drilling and production from non-exempt wells, promote the capping or plugging of abandoned wells, provide information and educational material to local property owners, interact with other governmental or organizational entities, and incorporate other groundwater-related activities that may help meet the purposes of the District. Enacting Legislation The Trinity Glen Rose Groundwater Conservation District was created by HB 2005 during the 77thTexas Legislature . HB 2005 was authored by State Representatives Frank Corte Jr. and John Shields and sponsored by Senator Jeff Wentworth. The bill was signed into law and took effect on September 1, 2001 and confirmed by voters in 2002. The District was created as a result of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) designating the Trinity group of aquifers lying within northern Bexar County as a Priority Groundwater Management Area (PGMA). In 2009, the 81st Texas Legislature passed HB1518 allowing an increase of production fees and allowing municipalities to request inclusion of annexed areas into the District as provided by Chapter 36 Texas Water Code. The mission of the District is to provide rules and regulations to manage, conserve, preserve, protect, maximize recharge and prevent waste of the water resources within the section of the Trinity Aquifer located in northern Bexar County.
