The Board of Directors also visited
the San Antonio Water Board. The
General Manager of the San Antonio
Water Board, Robert Van Dyke,
noted that the Water Board's 60 wells
supply the entire needs of San An-
tonio-the largest city in the Nation
supplied entirely by groundwater.
Van Dyke also gave an account of
future plans for the area, involving
the building of lake sites, expansion of
the city and the Water Board's interest
in plans to augment the water supply
in the Edwards Aquifer in order that
the future needs of both municipal
and irrigation can be satisfied by the
area surface and groundwater supplies.
At the San Antonio Water Board
the District Directors reviewed hydro-
graphs of water-level measurements
made in index (observation) wells
completed in the Edwards Aquifer,
that showed the all-time highest water
levels in the recorded water-level his-
tory of the Edwards Aquifer occurred
this year after the abnormally heavyrains of the spring and early summer.
The phenominally rapid recharging
rate of the Edwards Aquifer was ex-
emplifei d by the Water Board hydro-
graph. This recharge phenomena
was also pointedly demonstrated when
the wai er levels in the Edwards Aqui-
fer reached the lowest levels in re-
cordetd history at the height of the
1950' drought in 1956. However,
after the large spring rain of 1957,
the highest water-levels of record were
recorded.
Upon their return to the High
Plains. the District's Board of Direc-
tors expressed a better understanding
of the special problems of the San
Anton m area, and the two water en-
tities authorized with the development
and recharging of the Edwards Aqui-
fer.
As was learned during the tours,
an aqifer of relatively limited extent
but capable of great recharge ability,
has unique problems of its own, vastly
different from those experienced on
the dry and windy High Plains of
Texas.jr ;pr
