If you have read this column for any length of time, you know that I usually write about drill rigs, drilling methods, tools, pump installation, etc. Occasionally, I change direction and write about trucks and, sometimes, I just write about general topics. This particular column is going to be about the recently held 2017 NGWA Groundwater Week and the upcoming 2018 MGWA (Michigan Ground Water Association) Conference.
You will be reading this column in March 2018, so the 2017 NGWA Groundwater Week will seem like old history. However, the 2017 NGWA event was held the first week in December so it is still fresh in my mind. What follows are some thoughts from somebody who has been to a great many of these. It is interesting to note that this event used to be called the NGWA Convention, then it became the NGWA Expo, and now it is the Groundwater Week — whatever the name, it is a great event and worth remembering.
