The Kenedy County Groundwater Conservation District manages groundwater resources across multiple counties in southern Texas. It was created in 2003 and confirmed by voters in 2004. The district monitors water wells and sets production limits to ensure equitable distribution of groundwater amongst users. Key economic activities in the region include oil and gas production, agriculture, and uranium exploration. The district works to protect groundwater quality by collecting baseline water data and engaging in rulemaking around mining activities.
