Figure 1: Location of the Edwards Aquifer in relation to the Balcones fault zone and other physiographic features. Note how the aquifer cuts across the surface drainage basins. Figure 3: Topography and rainfall of the central segment of the Edwards Aquifer (modified from Woodruff and Abbott, 1979).he dominant geologic feature in the region is the Balcones fault zone, a system of en echelon, mainly down-to-the-coast, normal faults that extend about 545 km from Del Rio on the Mexican border to near Waco in north-central Texas.
CRE are bacteria that are resistant to most antibiotics due to the production of an enzyme called carbapenemase. Enterobacteriaceae is a family of bacteria and many of these bacteria live in our environment (such as soil or water).Some of them can get into our bodies and cause pneumonia, kidney and bladder infections, and bloodstream infections.nterobacteriaceae is a family of bacteria and many of these bacteria live in our environment (such as soil or water).

In humans, diseases can be caused by the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. Bacterial growth, however, is not mandatory to cause disease. For example, some bacterial pathogens cause disease by virtue of a toxic component of the bacterial cell such as lipopolysaccharide.
