WISCONSIN GROUNDWATER GUARDIAN PROGRAM
Groundwater Guardian is a national program which connects and recognizes communities that take
action to protect groundwater and educate the public about groundwater. It is sponsored by the
Groundwater Foundation
in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Groundwater supplies drinking
water for 95% of Wisconsin communities,” Denise Kilkenny-Tittle said.
“But we’re seeing increasing problems for some
communities with groundwater quality. In addition, some communities are faced with declining water levels
in their wells. So it’s natural
that people would want to come together to help protect groundwater, and
the Groundwater Guardian program is an easy and organized way to do that.”
NEWSLETTER

GROUNDWATER SAND MODELS AVAILABLE FOR WGWA MEMBERS
The aquifer sand models have been getting a workout lately,
with very favorable responses from the presentors and audiences. The models
come with excellent instructions, fun quizzes, water informational handouts,
as well as several videotapes that provide ideas on presentation types
and the importance of our water supply.
Outreach activities may include presentations at schools,
community meetings, or other public forums where the participants will
benefit by learning more about ground water. If you are a WGWA member
and would like to reserve a model, please contact
Lori Rosemore (Eau Claire/northern
and western Wisconsin area) or
Kathi Ried. To see and learn more about the model, visit the
Groundwater Model Project
web site.
If you are a community member who is interested in having
a WGWA member speak for your community or school function, please contact
Lori or Deb.
