Meeting the need for safe water supplies for U.S. communities in the 21st century will depend in large part upon groundwater. For instance, the U.S. public supply on a daily average pumps 15.7 billion gallons of groundwater, 20.7% of the national daily total of 76 billion gallons. The National Ground Water Association professional members are teaming to reach the 87.1 million Americans in 39,000 communities using an estimated 75,000 community wells to educate how five steps of well design, well development, water use calculation, pump selection, and operation and maintenance will enhance water efficiency, as well as reduce energy consumption at the wellhead, impacting on water use in electricity generation.
Sustaining our national groundwater resources to meet public supply needs requires wise use, pumping efficiency, locally adapted management, resource monitoring, and managed recharge of groundwater storage to assure future supplies. When you supply a community with groundwater you use a water well system. NGWA professional members will show you how to most efficiently withdraw groundwater, avoid conflicting withdrawals, and save on the community energy costs. Read on for a summary of the five-step process....
