- 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.
