Stand up for our Springs before the year ends.

This year has tested Central Texas in ways we haven’t experienced before. We are seeing significantly less rainfall than normal, groundwater levels continue to decline, and Barton Springs Edwards Aquifer Conservation District (BSEACD) moved our region into Stage 3 Exceptional Drought in September, only the second time in recorded history. Despite these challenges, Barton Springs continues to flow— for now.

Save Our Springs Alliance has helped keep the springs flowing for more than three decades: protecting the watershed from overdevelopment, educating and mobilizing thousands of people, and holding local leadership accountable.

GIVE TODAY

Between now and December 31, your year-end gift will directly strengthen our ability to protect Central Texas waters by: 
​
> Mobilizing people for water, land, and community. From pushing for transparency and public participation to challenging harmful projects, we fight for the policies and practices that keep our waters safe.

> Legally defending the springs and public process. Our legal team returns to court again and again to enforce the voter‑approved SOS Ordinance and open-government laws, upholding more than 30 years of protections for the Edwards Aquifer and Barton Springs.
​
> Turning curiosity into lasting stewardship. We educate thousands of locals and visitors alike to understand our region's unique underground karst geology, how it feeds our springs, and why our collective action and conservation matter.

Thank you for standing with us, and for the springs. And thank you for believing that the natural heart of Austin is worth protecting, especially now.

With gratitude,
Save Our Springs Alliance
