Plan Now for National Groundwater Awareness Week in March

The 16th annual National Groundwater Awareness Week will take place from March 9-15 this year.  The National Ground Water Association (NGWA) invites you to celebrate the week by helping to educate the public about groundwater and its importance to public health, quality of life, and the environment.  State drinking water programs will want to share the materials and messages that NGWA has created with their utilities and the public about groundwater and water well stewardship (including private well maintenance).  Please take a look at the following resources that are available for your use.  Some can be used as is and others can be adapted or customized to your state or a locale.

• Groundwater Awareness Week logos
