A scientific investigation into well construction practices will help ensure groundwater is safe to drink, thanks to research by government agencies, the Nebraska Well Drillers Association, the University of Nebraska, industry suppliers of drilling and grout products, and several consultants.

Through NGWREF’s McEllhiney Lecture Series in Water Well Technology, this research will be shared firsthand with the water well construction community throughout 2011, perhaps leading to jurisdictions beyond Nebraska revising their water well construction codes.
