The Headwaters Groundwater Conservation District
is part of the Hill Country Priority
Groundwater Management Area and was created by House Bill No. 1463, Chapter
693, Acts of the 72nd Texas Legislature in
January 1991. The District was
organized to protect the underground water
resources of Kerr County. It registers and
permits wells drilled in the county and
investigates the aquifers to determine
appropriate plans for future development.
The Headwaters Groundwater Conservation
District (HGCD) mission is to develop, promote, and
implement water conservation, augmentation,
and management strategies to protect the
water resources of the District as a
sustainable resource for the benefit of its
citizens, economy, and environment. |
