Drought Declared: Buda and Kyle mandate water conservation measures

Last summer, Kyle firefighters braved the rushing Blanco River at Five-Mile Dam to undergo swift-water rescue training.

Today, that same rocky stretch of dry river bed is a prime treasure-hunting spot for metal-detector aficionados.

As Central Texas gears up for another scorched-earth summer, declarations of drought have begun to roll out from local water authorities and conservation districts.

This Monday, the Board of Directors of the Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conservation District (BS/EACD) declared an Alarm Stage Drought for the Barton Springs segment of the Edwards Aquifer, effective immediately.
