In the United States, 50 percent of all drinking water is from wells and nearly all bottled water is groundwater.
In the next 12 issues of National Driller the American Ground Water Trust (AGWT) will present a series of basic groundwater education articles to help explain occurrence, development, and protection of this incredible natural resource.
Each monthly topic will serve as a basic education building-block that can help inform citizens, communities and decision-makers about economic and environmental significance of groundwater. An educational drawing or diagram will be included in each article to help explain some aspect of groundwater. After publication in National Driller, individual camera-ready copies of each article can be obtained free from AGWT.
