The 176-acre parcel safeguards a unique and critical karst formation of caves and conduits that percolate water to store in the Middle Trinity aquifer below. Karst landscapes are one of the most threatened types of habitats in the world. What makes the Karst Canyon so important is its ability to recharge the aquifer at a high rate of 30%, which becomes extremely significant for a county experiencing an extreme drought and rapid increases in population and development.
