National Groundwater Awareness Week

Page Content

March 11-17, 2012

"Groundwater awareness is important to you!"

Welcome to the National Groundwater Awareness Week page!
 
Now well into its second decade, Groundwater Awareness Week spotlights one of the world’s most important resources — groundwater.
 
Who should be “aware” of groundwater? Quite simply, everyone.
 
Groundwater is essential to the health and well-being of humanity and the environment. Whether you’re on a public water system or a private well, whether you are a health care official, policymaker, regulator, or someone interested in water resources or the environment in general — groundwater awareness is important to you.
 
You can find more information on groundwater and water well stewardship by going to NGWA's Web site for well owners, www.wellowner.org.
 
And visit our Water Central page on Facebook, too — just click on the logo below.
