The Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conservation District declared a critical drought when the Lovelady and Barton Springs monitor wells dropped below their critical drought triggers. The last time the district was in a critical drought was in October 2013.
Limiting water use is essential as wells could run dry, and some wells have already gone dry.
