The August 2018 issue of Water Well Journal focuses on green technology, a topic that is the subject of multiple articles, including a feature story, a Q&A, and guest editorial.
The feature story is authored by Eric Macias, who discusses new developments in solar pump technology and how they can impact your bottom line. Titled “Seeing the Light,” Macias goes over knowing the systems, details on hybrid solar pumps,
and how to troubleshoot the systems.
The Water Well Journal Q&A caught up with Todd Tannehill of Mud & More LLC in North Lima, Ohio. Tannehill discusses the state of geothermal and what the future holds in the United States market. He says with newer graphite products leading
the way, the industry has yet to see the coolest, newest thing in grouting and thermal enhancing materials.
National Ground Water Association Director of Government Affairs Lauren Schapker authored the guest editorial talking about the victory scored by NGWA and its members in getting geothermal tax credits restored through 2021. In “Good News for Green
Technology” Schapker details the steps the Association went to get the credits, which were originally established to provide home and business owners with an incentive to install renewable technologies into their homes and businesses, restored
after they expired on December 31, 2016. She emphasizes the importance of marketing the tax credits to customers and the savings available by acting now.
