Domain-specific¶
- Karst
- A cavernous limestone aquifer, it is the primary water supply for San Antonio and surrounding communities, and its recharge zone takes in surface water rapidly through sinkholes, fractures, and losing streambeds rather than through slow soil percolation
This sourceSharp and Banner describe the Edwards as 'an extensive, karstified flow system' that 'provides all the water used by the City of San Antonio and by numerous smaller municipalities', 'providing water for more than two million people', and that receives 'approximately 80% of its recharge through losing (influent) streams that flow over its unconfined parts', the remainder as direct precipitation on outcrop.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
