This report includes a digital, three-dimensional (3-D) faulted hydrostratigraphic
model we have constructed to represent the geologic framework of the
Edwards aquifer system in the area of San Antonio, northern Bexar County,
Texas. The model is based on mapped geologic relationships that reflect
the complex structures of the Balcones fault zone, detailed lithologic
descriptions and interpretations of about 40 principal wells (and qualified
data from numerous other wells), and a conceptual model of the gross
geometry of the Edwards Group units derived from prior interpretations
of depositional environments and paleogeography.
