Hydrology Field Camp

The 2025 Hydrology Field Camp conducted three different studies in Central Texas by collaborating with water agencies in the area. The class worked with the City of Austin to examine urban contamination in groundwater springs, conducted surface water-groundwater interaction studies on the Blanco and Guadalupe rivers with Comal and Hays County groundwater conservations districts, and studied aquifer recharge processes with the Edwards Aquifer Authority. Their work provided useful insight to all of these organizations while teaching the fundamentals of hydrologic science.
