Pumpers have opposed reg-

Texas underground water is the
property of the surface landhol-
der and subject to capture with-
out regard for the needs of
other users.
Specht said the TWC is cur-
rently working on a solution to
the problem to be presented to
the district court.
He said what is needed is a
management plan that will pro-
tect the springs and the needs
of all the water users along the
aquifer. A surface water source
for San Antonio will have to be
among the solutions, he said.
In addition to the state suit,
Specht said, the GBR A has filed
notice with the U. S. Depart-
ment of the Interior that the
board may file a suit under the
Endangered Species Act to pro-
tect the springs.

Rabbi criticizes
American Jews
NEW YORK (AP) — Rabbi
Max N. Schreier, president of
the Rabbinical Council of
America, says American Jews
lack passion for helping Jews
from the Soviet Union resettle
in Israel.
“It would be tragic indeed if
we failed to make Israel the
center of Jewish life, demogra-
phically,” he told a midwinter
conference of the Orthodox
branch of U.S. Judaism.

fish, amphibians and plants

San Marcos springs and the
destruction of that habitat
would mean the extinction of
these species.
Specht said filing an endan-
gered species suit would be “a
last resort” for the GBRA since
it would mean regulation of the
aquifer by the federal
government.

There are three major users
of the water in the Edwards
Aquifer, Specht said, and these
often conflicting uses have
made regulation of the aquifer
difficult.
Irrigation in West Texas, the
city of San Antonio and the
users of the Guadalupe River
water all have a valid claim on
the water in the aquifer.
Both irrigation and San Anto-
nio are taking ever-increasing
amounts of water from the
aquifer, he said. Two springs in
Bexar County have ceased to
flow because of drawdowns by

San Antonio, he said.
During the 1950s drought,
when Comal Springs stopped
flowing for the first time, the
population of metropolitan San
Antonio was 350,000 people.
Today it is over 1.5 million and
growing.
San Antonio is now extract-
ing approximately 500,000 acre
feet of water from the aquifer
each year.
The average annual recharge
to the aquifer is 603,000 acre
feet, Specht said, “but averages
are made up of extremes.”
In dry years, San Antonio
alone extracts more water than
is put into the aquifer.
The GBRA has filed suit in
state district court in Hays
County to force the Texas Water
Commission to regulate the
aquifer as an underground riv-
er. This would allow the TWC to
require permits for pumping
from the aquifer just as the
agency regulates the use of sur-
