Drops in the Bucket

AT THE TRAIL

Texans are always happy to see rainfall, and we were grateful to have the showers that came in April. Readings in Central Texas ranged from over 3 to over 4 inches of rain in just that month, and here at Cibolo, we’re seeing water in the Marsh for the first time in nearly a year! Unfortunately, this precipitation has not been enough to alleviate the effects of the prolonged dry spell our state has experienced. With uncertain rainfall and rising temperatures on their way, Boerneites are faced with the reality that we are in what the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality considers a Priority Groundwater Management Area.

This means we are expected to experience critical groundwater problems within the next 50 years.
