Rayleigh wave and well head response to calculate porosity in the Edwards aquifer of south-central Texas, USA [PDF]
Acta Carsologica, 2020 We use the magnitude and centroid period of Rayleigh wave along with the amplitude of fluctuations of water level in a well to calculate effective porosity of a karst aquifer at the site scale.

A recharge-discharge water budget and evaluation of water budgets for the Edwards Aquifer associated with Barton Springs [PDF]
Texas Water Journal, 2017 The Barton Springs segment of the Edwards Aquifer represents a small, relatively independent part of the aquifer. Data for the sources of recharge and especially for discharge from the aquifer are well documented.
