National Groundwater Awareness Week (20th Year) Starts March 10

February 26, 2019

During the week of March 10-16, 2019, the National Ground Water Association will observe National Groundwater Awareness Week (GWAW).

Now in its 20th year, the week is a chance to highlight responsible development, management, and use of water featuring participation from federal agencies, major cities, counties, local organizations, groundwater professionals, students, businesses, associations, and more from across the United States.

GWAW provides an opportunity for people to learn about the importance of groundwater and how the resource impacts lives.

This year’s theme, Think, was designed to urge each of us to consider various ways we can protect our most valuable natural resource.

What does this mean for businesses in Marion County Wellfields? Think about getting that leaking faucet fixed. Think about your chemical containment and waste disposal. Think about spill prevention. In short, during GWAW Think about our future!

Stay tuned to our blog during the next few weeks to learn more about groundwater and current news and legislation.
