marine sea deposits of upper Permian sediments and evaporates into the Permian basin, which is above parts of the Edwards-Trinity plateau aquifer (Anaya 2001, 107). Another prominent structural feature is the Llano uplift which is comprised of Precambrian rock mostly granite, located in the northern Hill Country area (Anaya 2001, 107). The Balcones fault zone was created from tensional stress from the uplift and deposition of sediments into the Gulf of Mexico, along the Ouachita belt, forming the
