      <image:caption>In Nueces County, these younger coastal formations contain finer clays and more saline sediments, which tend to trap groundwater and restrict recharge. That’s why we see lower water quality and slower replenishment compared to older, sandier formations farther inland.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Field measurements using a YSI Pro30 Water Quality Meter show a difference in salinity and total dissolved solids (TDS) between two Nueces River sites. Upstream of the well field measured 0.6 ppt salinity (770 mg/L TDS), while the Hazel Bazemore Boat Ramp near Calallen showed 1.0 ppt salinity (1,287 mg/L TDS). These results reflect natural variation in river salinity, with slightly higher readings downstream where tidal influence and regional groundwater interaction occur.</image:caption>
