Challenged by the prospect of thousands of new houses being located within the Edwards Aquifer watershed, the Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance set about studying methods that might mitigate the effects of suburban development in this extremely fragile area. The result is a 106-page manual that is intended to fill a gap in the storm water management measures that currently protect the Edwards Aquifer in Central Texas.

The Avenida’s 16 de Septiembre Celebration, one of San Antonio’s largest citywide multicultural events attended by nearly 10,000 each year, just got bigger.  Adding to the colorful, vibrant and celebratory parade, gala and festival, which have been traditions on the west side of San Antonio for more than three decades, the Mexican Consulate will join with the Avenida Guadalupe Association (Avenida) this year to bring the historical Grito to the festivities.
