Aquifer Observation

The Edward’s Aquifer is an amazing ground water system and is one of the best Aquifers in the world. The Edward Aquifer is between 300-700 feet thick. It is water-bearing rock. The Edward’s Aquifer that is in San Antonio is 160 miles long that is curved also. The Aquifer is between five to forty miles wide at the surface. There is a bunch of different springs that come from the Aquifer. The Edward’s Aquifer is where people in San Antonio and around San Antonio get their drinking water.

I liked how the walls of the Aquifer were made out of limestone. It makes the water easy to transport. It also looks really cool. When I went there I liked how the water was really clear. You can really see everything in it. There are a bunch of holes that water is always going through them. The holes are a bunch of different sizes. Also the water in the Blue Hole on Incarnated word campus in San Antonio was really neat. It was flowing pretty well. The water also looked amazingly blue. I guess that why they call it the blue hole. It made me just want to go swimming in it.
