Re: Whether the Edwards Aquifer Authority may reduce groundwater
withdrawal permit amounts for certain permit holders below the
amount specified in section 1.16(e) of the Authority's enabling act
when, if all permitted amounts are withdrawn, over 450,000 acre-feet
of water will be withdrawn from the aquifer in a calendar year
(RQ-0469-GA)
SUMMARY
The Texas Legislature has not authorized the Edwards Aquifer Author-
ity to reduce the withdrawal rights of irrigation users and averagers,
who have received permits under section 1.16(e), sentences 4 and 5 of
the Authority's enabling act. See Act of May 30, 1993, 73d Leg., R.S.,
ch. 626, 1.16(e), 1993 Tex. Gen. Laws 2350, 2361. The Legislature

drawal rights.
