Groundwater sustainability relates to the development and use of groundwater to meet current and future pruposes without causing unacceptable consequences. Find out about the factors that contribute to local, regional, or statewide groundwater, shortages, the strategies that can be implemented to promote a sustainable groundwater supply, and what resources or tools are needed to implement these strategies successfully.
Current project
The National Ground Water Association has been working with the Association of American State Geologists, the Ground Water Protection Council, and the Interstate Council on Ground Water Policy to gather information to build a national picture of groundwater monitoring. We have concluded the compilation of responses to the Joint State Ground Water Quality and Level Monitoring surveys relating to state and regional ambient groundwater.
