7 Page 7 Outlook: Not Promising This past year we had an unusual drought And we have a strong possibility of it continuing. Texas A&M professor of meteorology and state climatologist Dr. John Nielsen-Gammon. El Nino La Nina The majority of ENSO models predict the continuation of La Niña through the Northern Hemisphere winter La Nina conditions to continue and strengthen through the Northern Hemisphere spring of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

8 Page 8 SAWS Aquifer Storage and Recovery

9 Page 9 What is Aquifer Storage and Recovery? Pumping or injection of water supplies into aquifer formations that store water long term until such time that it is needed to meet peak needs, long-term growth or emergency conditions.

10 Page 10 Why an ASR in San Antonio? Usage of Edwards Aquifer limited in 1990s: Alternative water supplies were needed to meet demands. Feasibility Studies: Completed in 1998, found that ASR was a viable strategy in our water resource management. No Roll-Over Water! Most water resources are permitted and managed on an annual basis and during wet periods there is no method to store allocations that we do not use The nearby Carrizo/Wilcox aquifer is suitable for long term storage.
