Established in 1991, the John Hem Award for Excellence in Science & Engineering is presented by the Scientists and Engineers Division of NGWA in recognition of a significant, recent (within the past five years) scientific or engineering contribution to the understanding of groundwater. The award is presented annually for a significant contribution to either a single publication or a body of works.
This award is designated for NGWA members, volunteers, or other significant groundwater notables. NGWA staff are ineligible to receive this award. Current NGWA or divisional board members are ineligible to receive awards during their tenure.
