It's been a while since we explored Antioch Cave. But with little water currently flowing through Onion Creek, this was the perfect time to do it. Antioch Cave is situated on Onion Creek about 1.3 miles west of Buda, and is considered to be the most significant recharge feature within the District. Onion Creek is the main contributor of recharge to the Barton Springs segment of the Edwards Aquifer. Our Aquifer Science Team (Principal Hydrogeologist Brian Smith, Staff Hydrologist Jeff Watson, and Hydrogeologist Technician Justin Camp) got some great pictures! Check out the video below.
The Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conservation District is committed to conserving, protecting, recharging, and preventing waste of groundwater and preserving all aquifers in the District. The Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conservation District was created in 1987 with a directive to conserve, protect, and enhance the groundwater resources in its jurisdictional area. The purpose of this blog is to provide education and pertinent information related to the District.
