The Center teamed with Joe McMahon at Collaborative Processes to provide facilitation services to the Edwards Aquifer Recovery Implementation Program stakeholder group. The Center assisted the group as they developed a plan to address protection of the Edwards Aquifer as a water supply and address protection of the threatened and endangered species associated with the San Marcos and Comal Springs.

The Edwards Aquifer Recovery Implementation Program (EARIP) is a collaborative, consensus-based stakeholder process to protect and contribute to the recovery of the federally listed species associated with the San Marcos and Comal Springs, while also protecting the Edwards Aquifer as a water supply source. The EARIP consists of a diverse group of regional stakeholders. Additional information regarding the EARIP can be found at http://earip.tamu.edu/.
