	Report on monitoring data in the Medina River Estuary Medina Valley Centre residential field studies centre for schools ...
		The River Medina has its source at Chale in the south of the Island, and flows north to Newport, where it becomes tidal and is the head of the estuary.
		The Medina Valley Centre is situated on the west side of the estuary, 2 km from Newport.
		The Medina is referred to as a positive estuary because the volume of water entering from the river and land drainage is greater than the evaporation from the surface.

	information
		Given that Medina Lake is a reservoir that has one very major permit holder who is allowed to take 66,000 acre feet of water from the reservoir each year, an explanation of surface water rights in Texas may shed some light on what this means.
		Along the Medina River and its tributaries, from the headwaters to Medina lake, there are 50 individual permits for amounts ranging from 2 acre feet per year to 120 afy, mostly for irrigation of fields, though some are for other uses.
		Below the Diversion Dam and on to the San Antonio River, the water of the Medina River (and its tributaries) is diverted by 82 permit holders for amounts ranging from 5 afy to 7500 afy.

		In the past year, the Medina River Protection Fund was established within the Bandera Regional Community Foundation to insure that there are funds to support an annual cleanup of the river.
		By 2002, the river cleanup participants had more than doubled to 170 in number and the cleanup was extended to the full length of the 50 miles of river in the county.
		The goal of the Medina River Protection Fund is to raise $20,000 which will be invested in order to assure that funds are available every year to cover costs of the river cleanups.

	The_Medina_River
		Unlike the San Antonio River, which is controlled and channelized for much of its length in Bexar County, the Medina flows relatively undisturbed through healthy and varied riparian habitat throughout its length.
		Due to the general west-to-east flow of the Medina, it does not appear to be a major avenue for northbound migrants, but the tall trees and brushy undergrowth pull in a surprising variety of species.
		Bear in mind that the flow of the Medina is controlled at the Medina Lake dam, and responds quickly to rain in the area.

		The Medina River is flowing too swiftly for the safety of those in boats, according to the Parks and Wildlife personnel familiar with the river.
		The concensus of others who are on the river often and are capable of predicting the swiftness of the decline of the rate of flow was in agreement.
		Medina Lake has been tested by TCEQ, Bandera River Authority, USGS and the San Antonio River Authority recently and all of these have come to the same conclusion – Medina Lake is free of pollution.

	USGS Scientific Investigations Report 2004-5209
		The principal objective of this present (2001–02) study was to estimate ground-water outflow (seepage) from Medina Lake, Diversion Lake, and from the Medina/Diversion Lake system through the calculation of water budgets representing steady-state conditions over as wide a range as possible in the stages of Medina and Diversion Lakes.
		During the time that the stage in Medina Lake was greater than about 1,040 feet, Diversion Lake gained more water than it lost to the ground-water system and the rate of ground-water outflow from Medina Lake increased sharply while its stage was between about 1,043 and 1,045 feet.
		When the stage in Medina Lake is at the spillway elevation of 1,064 feet, Diversion Lake appears to gain as much as 40 percent of the concurrent ground-water outflow from Medina Lake.
