When drillers decide to give back to the community, it makes sense that improving access to safe water would be a cause they would support. If you read about Michael Campana’s talk at the National Ground Water Association 2013 Groundwater Expo about “hydrophilanthropy” efforts to bring water to Central America, then you know that drillers are well aware of the worldwide need for safe drinking water supplies. Not only that, they want to make a difference.
While the lack of safe, clean water seems like a problem only found in developing countries, there are surprisingly thousands of people in the United States who don’t have access to safe drinking water, either. Although there are pockets across the country where people lack clean drinking water, the problem is most prevalent in the Deep South and remote western states.
