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 addition to disease caused by direct bacterial infection, some foodborne illnesses are caused by enterotoxins (exotoxins targeting the intestines). Enterotoxins can produce illness even when the microbes that produced them have been killed.
