Cibolo Creek Water Quality Model Updates

The Cibolo Creek Watershed is over 850 mi2 in area and has a mix of both urban and rural land use classes. Several parts of this Watershed is are developing rapidly and based on TCEQ’s latest assessment, several of the streams in the Watershed are impaired for primary contact recreation due to elevated bacteria levels. In order to develop and implement mitigation measures, prevent further degradation of the water bodies, and plan for preservation, it is important to better understand the Watershed through the use of comprehensive and well calibrated models. The project objectives are to identify locations and develop/quantify preservation/mitigation strategies for improvement of water quality in the Cibolo Creek Watershed.
