Category: Water & Watersheds

Articles in this category explore how water moves across, through, and beneath landscapes, with a focus on watershed function, flooding, erosion, and groundwater dynamics in Central Texas.

Water-related challenges in the region often present as extremes, including intense flooding followed by prolonged drought. These outcomes are closely tied to land management decisions made far upstream from where impacts are ultimately felt. Soil condition, vegetation cover, and surface disturbance all play critical roles in determining whether rainfall infiltrates slowly or moves rapidly across the landscape.

Content in this section examines water systems at multiple scales, from small creeks and riparian corridors to entire watersheds and recharge zones. Articles range from foundational explanations of hydrology to applied observations and regional case examples, helping readers understand how land use and management influence water outcomes over time.
