Out of Sight, Out of Mind: The Hidden Reality of Groundwater as a Drinking Water Source (Webinar)

Thirty percent of our planet’s fresh water is stored below the Earth’s surface as groundwater, and approximately 145 million Americans get their tap water from these groundwater sources. However, groundwater quality is sometimes overlooked because the water isn’t visible to us all the time like our rivers and lakes are. The Earth can often naturally filter and clean water as it infiltrates through soil and rock, but there are some contaminants that still make it through, and not every groundwater source is created equal when it comes to water quality.
