AGWT develops and facilitates collaborative events that spark conversation and idea exchange to promote sustainable groundwater development, management and protection. Our educational initiatives provide accurate, reliable and relevant information, working with public and private organizations at local, state and national levels to improve awareness and decision-making for citizens, communities and businesses.
Did you know that over 150 million people in the US rely on groundwater for their drinking water? With the population expected to increase by 100 million by 2050, it’s important to protect this vital resource. Groundwater is also critical for American agriculture, mining, and manufacturing industries. Together, we all have a responsibility to ensure that future generations have access to clean water. You can contribute to this effort by supporting our education programs through membership, sponsorship, or participation. With your help, we can achieve our mission and ensure that science guides water policies at the local, state, and national levels.
