Webinar Description:

01/22/2025 The History of flooding. The Edwards Plateau: Land Water and Development. Presented by Char Miller (Pomona College W.M. Keck Professor of Environmental Analysis and History). The Edwards Plateau is one of the dominant landforms in Texas, encompassing a massive 24 million acres. Its impact extends far beyond its central location, as it is also the source of water for all species inhabiting this rugged terrain and those that draw upon the many rivers and creeks that cut through the Balcones Escarpment and run south and east toward the Gulf of Mexico. Environmental historian Char Miller is as interested in these geological and geographical features as he is by their reciprocal relationships. He is even more engaged by the human experiences of them, from the early twentieth century to the present which he captures through the use of maps and other illustrative material.

02/26/2025 The values of the Net Zero Water concept and how it integrates with the adoption of the One Water Framework across Texas. Presented by Chandler Crouch (Texas Water Trade Net Zero Water Engineer).

03/26/2025 Opportunities in Subdivision Regulation: what groundwater conservation districts, counties, cities and residents can do to protect groundwater in the region. Presented by Marisa Bruno (Hill Country Alliance Water Program Manager).
