Mission
The Watershed Associations (WVWA) mission is to ensure that communities are aware of their connection and responsibilities to their watershed and are supported in implementing water policies and practices that will ensure ecological sustainability for future generations. We advocate for clean, clear flowing springs and streams and the sustained health of the Central Texas region through conducting scientific research, networking and facilitating diverse stakeholders, and providing community engagement through experiential education.
Program accomplishments
- Policy Advocacy and Environmental PlanningThe organization works with nonprofits, governments, and resource management agencies to promote sustainable environmental policies to protect and preserve land and water. We hold a broad lens of the dynamics affecting water in Central Texas and engage stakeholders in community and regional planning processes that promote best management practices for new development and incentives for protecting open space for aquifer recharge and water quality. The WA provides crucial support for partnering organizations and districts to address large policy cases that pose significant threats to our water resources. By leveraging its extensive network and providing sound scientific expertise, the Watershed Association enables a coordinated and effective response to complex water issues. This collaborative approach allows us to address water challenges at both local and regional levels, comprehensively ensuring a strong, unified stance in the face of emerging threats to our water resources. In 20242025, our advocacy focused on defending the authority of Groundwater Conservation Districts (GCDs) in the face of ongoing legal challenges. Regionally, we helped establish and implement the Blanco-Cypress Watershed Protection Plana first-of-its-kind interlocal agreement uniting Hays County, Wimberley, Woodcreek, and Texas State University to coordinate monitoring and policy efforts. This collaborative governance framework is now funding long-term watershed protection and clean water initiatives across jurisdictions. Through local, regional, and state-level initiativesincluding drought-stage policy development, pristine streams advocacy, and land-use planning reformswe advance proactive and innovative strategies to ensure water resilience and ecological integrity in a rapidly shifting landscape.Expenses $319,955

- Watershed Protection & Conservation Science - The Watershed Association protects vital water resources through scientific monitoring, policy development, and collaborative watershed management. Since 2003, we have collected quality-assured water quality data for the Texas Clean Rivers Program, monitoring the Blanco River and Cypress Creek for Clean Water Act compliance. Our organization initiated the EPA-approved Cypress Creek Watershed Protection Plan in 2008, the first in Texas to proactively focus on groundwater protection supporting surface water quality. Our advocacy and technical expertise also supported the Pristine Streams Rulemaking Initiative at TCEQ, the Dye Trace Study in lower Cypress Creek, and watershed restoration following harmful flooding and drought impacts. In 2024, we achieved a significant milestone through an interlocal agreement with Hays County, the cities of Wimberley and Woodcreek, and the Meadows Center for Water and the Environment. This innovative partnership funds water quality monitoring and implements watershed protection strategies through a dedicated County Watershed Coordinator position. The Association continues to serve on the Jacob's Well Groundwater Management Zone initiative, working with the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District and regional stakeholders to establish drought triggers and management practices. This comprehensive approach to watershed protection integrates scientific monitoring, policy development, and multi-jurisdictional collaboration to ensure sustainable water resources for future generations.Expenses $55,880
