USGS Groundwater Connections
March 28, 2012 | USGS

“Across the country, about half of the American public uses groundwater as a primary drinking source. Groundwater is also a critical resource for agriculture, energy production, and a vast array of industries. Yet because groundwater is a hidden resource lying below the land surface, it suffers from “out of sight, out of mind” syndrome. People often overlook it, underappreciate it, take it for granted.” Quoted from the USGS press release.
