Snow Making – Aspen, Colorado. Water is needed for hundreds of different uses throughout the world.
Old Wind Pumps (and one modern wind turbine) – Lubbock, Texas. Today, electric turbine pumps move billions of gallons from aquifers to productive use.
Groundwater Clean-up – Birmingham, Alabama. New technologies are working at hundreds of old industrial sites to restore aquifer integrity.
Spray Irrigation – Central Valley, California. Agriculture accounts for 70% of all water use in the U.S.
Threats to Groundwater: Crop Spraying - What we spread on the surface can impact surface water quality and groundwater.
Rocks impact groundwater chemistry. Picture shows igneous dolerite, sedimentary mudstone and a thin metamorphic layer.

American Ground Water Trust

• Communicate the environmental and economic value of ground water
• Showcase ground water science and technology solutions
• Increase citizen, community and decision-maker awareness
• Facilitate stakeholder participation in water resource decisions

HYDRAULIC FRACTURING

The AGWT is in favor of developing energy resources provided water resources are not jeopadized. Our Shale-gas programs in Austin TX (2012 and 2013), Raleigh NC (August 2012), and Massachusetts (December 2012) have served to provide balanced information, and facilitate information exchange to help reduce and remove angst and conflict among all parties interested in, and affected by, the development of natural gas.
