Discuss all things karst with Brent Doty, Research Manager for the Edwards Aquifer Authority.

Gain a new understanding of how water enters and moves throughout our aquifer before finally emerging at important spring systems (or out of our faucets). Brent will discuss conservation efforts to protect the aquifer and the endangered species endemic to our karst system.

Brent is a hydrogeologist with more than 15 years of experience protecting and researching the Edwards Aquifer. Government Canyon is his number one place in Texas to unwind and connect with nature.
