An excellent video, a simple picture of the aquifer and lifeblood of our region
The video below, about 7 minutes in length, was produced by Wimberley resident Bob Currie (a world-class video producer) as his project to become a Master Naturalist in Hays County. It is an excellent picture of the Trinity Aquifer and its relationship to Jacob's Well and our aquifer water supply.
Thanks to Bob C. and members of the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District board of directors for their collaboration in creating this very simple to understand story in what has become an excessively complicated debate over a very fragile and finite underground source of drinking water in our region. We hope many more residents of western Hays County will be able to understand "the picture" that this is an irreplaceable resource, vulnerable to overuse and toxic pollutants. Enjoy.

Nice video, Dr. Jernigan.
Bubba Scheisskopf's comments prove he assumes too much. I know the scientists in the video--they do a great job of educating the public on how the aquifer works. They do not discuss politics or water rights. It is unfortunate that some folks view scientific knowledge as threatening.
Bubba doesn't like leftie criticism.
Bubba feel like science bad for business.
Bubba need work installing septic tanks for trailer park developments.
Bubba a simple man.
I don't believe Dr. Jernigan had anything to do with this video, I think Board Director Ed Pope organized this video and found the producer/videographer (Bob Currie http://www.vcyes.com/ ). Mr. Currie volunteered his services as part his community work towards earning his Master Naturalist certification and professional geologists Al Broun and Rene Barker also volunteered their time. The other video Dr. Jernigan helped organize is more focused on policy/legal issues related to the groundwater district and groundwater management.
Okay, nice video, Ed, Bob, Al, Rick, and Rene!
I appreciate the fact that this video was informative and was not a propaganda piece demonizing individual wells. The narration, script, cinematography, and production were tops.
