This year marks a significant milestone—29 years of the Edwards Aquifer Authority (EAA) serving as a guardian of one of South-Central Texas’s most precious natural resources: the Edwards Aquifer. Since its inception, the EAA has managed the Edwards Aquifer for Uvalde, Medina, Bexar, and parts of Atascosa, Caldwell, Guadalupe, Comal, and Hays counties, educated thousands of Texans about the aquifer, and conducted cutting-edge aquifer research.
June marks the official start of summer – and one of the most fascinating astronomical events of the year: the summer solstice. This annual milestone happens when Earth’s tilt is at its maximum toward the sun, giving the Northern Hemisphere its longest day and shortest night of the year. This year, the summer solstice arrives on June 20th at 3:50 p.m. CDT.
