Recent evaluations from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, local businesses and environmental authorities reveal declining flow rates and heightened concerns about the Comal River’s sustainability, particularly during droughts. “The entire Guadalupe River basin has experienced extreme drought conditions between 2022 and 2023,” said Richard Richter, media relations specialist with the TCEQ. “These overly dry conditions have led to lower-than-normal flow conditions throughout the basin, including the Comal River.” A key element to the river’s condition is the spring that feeds it. These springs are the primary sources of the river’s flow, making them crucial to any analysis of the river’s health and water quality, along with the health and volume of the Edwards Aquifer that feeds them, according to several agencies and experts.
