Project Summary:
The Zoo currently relies on a single Edwards Aquifer water well, that is 70 years old, for animal life support. The natural purity and temperature of Edwards Aquifer water is crucial to the long-term survival of many species at the Zoo, including several threatened or endangered species. The water from this source is also important to sustaining flow in the San Antonio River once discharged from the Zoo. This project will provide funding to explore the replacement and/or rehabilitation of the well water source. The City of San Antonio and private donors to the Zoo will participate in the funding for the water well improvements.
