Report on Groundwater Available on NGWA's Website

1/31/2025

The National Ground Water Association (NGWA) has made available a new report, “Improving Groundwater Security in the United States,” published by the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST).

The report was based on recommendations from a series of public meetings across the country and a request for comment, to which NGWA responded.

Several questions were highlighted in the report, including research that is needed to safeguard water security and sustainability, what incentives the federal government can provide to address groundwater quality, and how the federal government could help state and local water managers.

Included are recommendations to:

  • Launch recruitment, development, and retention efforts for a workforce skilled in the various aspects of groundwater and management use
  • Advance technology and strategies for a comprehensive research program
  • Establish an interagency group on groundwater security and sustainability
  • Establish federal incentives for a network of groundwater engagement hubs
  • Provide competitive grants to support planning, sustainable management and restoration of aquifers

Access the PCAST report and comments via NGWA’s news post.
