AT THE TRAIL
The steady flow of rains has brought about a lot of questions regarding the current swimabilty of the Cibolo Creek. Over the past year, our “Swimming Not Recommended” signs and posts have frustrated and sometimes scared visitors. We too, recognize the bleakness of seeing the creek that we love so much, and was often so full of laughing, splashing kids and adults, lay calm and empty.
The truth is that water quality is a complex and dynamic subject that is affected by what is going on in the environment at that time, while also still being affected by past environmental conditions. Over the summer, we hope to share more with the public about the state of our area of the Creek and the science behind our recommendations. This is the first in a series that attempts to more clearly communicate what we are observing and what we are looking for as stewards of a part of Cibolo Creek.
