Welcome to SAWDF!
"Working to protect property rights and the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer"
JOIN THE BATTLE!
IT'S YOUR GROUNDWATER AND YOUR GRANDKIDS' LEGACY
We work closely with local landowners, well owners, and residents in Bastrop, Lee, Burleson and Milam counties, and we interact with their groundwater conservation districts and local governments. However, the support of all central Texans is critical to our ability to tackle issues that are important to all Texans--protection of our aquifers, our water wells, and our private property rights in groundwater. To accomplish these goals, SAWDF also works with legislators, elected state and local officials, regional water planning groups, Groundwater Management Area 12, stakeholder groups, other groundwater conservation districts, community resources such as Texas Agri-Life Extension, and other community and state-wide organizations. We also lend a helping hand to individual landowners who are looking for solutions in the legislative, administrative and judicial arenas to their vulnerability to serious impacts of large water projects. We do all of this with one part-time paid staff, and a lot of volunteerism!

SAWDF's "part-time" Executive Director Andy Wier works far more than part-time for all of us in Central Texas. We are proud to have him leading our team, and we are thankful for his dedication, energy, unfailing good humor, and skill-set ---not to mention his secret weapon, the homemade Beauty Berry Jalapeno jelly he hands out when he visits the Capitol!
