Summary
The karstic Edwards and Trinity aquifers are classified as major sources of water in south-central Texas by the Texas Water Development Board, and both are classified as major aquifers by the State of Texas. The purpose of this data release is to present the data that were collected and compiled to describe the geologic framework and hydrostratigraphy within parts of Bandera and Kendall Counties, Texas, in order to help water managers, water purveyors, and local residents better understand and manage water resources. The scope of the larger work and this accompanying data release is focused on the geologic framework and hydrostratigraphy of the outcrops and hydrostratigraphy of the Edwards and Trinity aquifers within parts of Bandera [...]

These digital data represent the geographical extent of the surficial hydrostratigraphic units and faulting in parts of Bandera and Kendall Counties in south-central Texas. The mapped hydrostratigraphic units are intended to aid in identifying units that likely facilitate groundwater recharge or discharge or function as a confining layer. These digital data accompany Clark and others (2024).
