The District adopted this plan for the purpose to conserve, preserve, protect, and recharge the groundwater resources of Burnet County, and to prevent waste and degradation of quality of those groundwater resources.

View Drought Management Plan The various drought stages will be initiated by the District’s Board of Directors (the Board) during a monthly board meeting, utilizing the Palmer Hydrological Drought Index (PHDI) or other factors including requests from local citizens and water users as deemed appropriate by the Board. The District may also utilize its various monitor wells to determine if aquifer levels are declining and may take action as deemed necessary. Each drought stage will last a minimum of 30 days and renew automatically unless changed by Board action. View Monitor Well Water Levels View Burnet County Rainfall Maps
