Educating the well owner: It can be done!
Presented on Thursday, December 11, 2014
In this information age, effectively educating private well owners can be a challenge as the public is inundated with information. Through its just-completed U.S. EPA grant, NGWA developed educational tools proven to increase well owners’ knowledge about groundwater and water well stewardship. Groundwater professionals can multiply these results by making more well owners aware of these simple, free, and easily-accessible tools.
