AGS members Robert Mace and Doug Wierman (and Sharlene Leurig and Harry Seely) have recently published a fascinating and important report on the hydrogeology of Comanche Springs in Pecos County, Texas. As you know these are the iconic and now infamous springs of west Texas that were “dried up” by the pumping of groundwater upgradient for agriculture use. It is the poster child of the “rule of capture.” and lead to significant Texas Supreme Court rulings. The report is a historical, hydrogeologic, policy, and economic review meant to inform what it would make the springs flow again.
