Context: The Edwards Plateau is in the west central region of texas and includes cities like Austin, Del Rio, San Angelo and San Antonio. The Hill country is defined by its rivers, springs, canyons, low-lying hills and rugged terrain. The biggest threat to Edwards Plateau is urbanization – its no surprise that the cities within the region have expanded hugely in recent years. As the population increases and cities grow outwards, Edwards Plateau has been losing key aquifer zones, which essentially store water underground. With the loss of these aquifers, the area has experienced decreased water quality and reduced stream flow rates, which has decimated habitats for vulnerable species. An organization working to conserve the natural resources in the area is the Edwards Plateau Alliance – they are working to educate folks about the impact of large scale energy projects in the region, and conserving the plateau, landforms, wildlife and habitats.
