Abstract: Groundwater provides most of Texas’ water supply, and climate change and increasing demand for water are expected to impact groundwater availability and therefore spring discharge. We hope to track changes in discharge over time and to determine if remotely sensed climate variables like evapotranspiration, vapor pressure, and rainfall can accurately predict spring output.
