Enhancing Local, State and Federal Regulations since 1992
Save Our Springs Alliance (SOS) is the only public interest legal group dedicated to protecting the Edwards Aquifer, its springs, and contributing streams throughout the Hill Country. The rapid growth the Hill Country continues to experience, and the increasing risk of drought due to climate change, threaten to diminish the Edwards Aquifer’s quality and quantity of water.
SOS, through education, advocacy, and legal action, works to enhance local, state, and federal regulations to protect the Edwards Aquifer from over-pumping, overdevelopment, and pollutant contamination.
Save Barton Creek Association is committed to protecting water quality on Barton Creek, Barton Springs, the Barton Springs Edwards Aquifer, and the various watersheds throughout Austin and the surrounding Hill Country region. Their efforts include: engaging in advocacy for City policies; promoting the implementation of green stormwater infrastructure; seeking safeguards against wastewater pollution, and raising awareness about the issue of non-point source pollution.
