The annual commemoration marking America’s need to protect and maintain water from underground aquifers is spearheaded by the National Groundwater Association (NGWA).
Chris Hogan, IBWA’s vice president of communications, said: “The protection and appreciation of the role groundwater plays in our lives is very important, and each of us can do something to be a good groundwater steward.
“The bottled water industry recognises the importance of protecting the quantity and quality of the world’s water. Bottled water companies that produce groundwater products (eg spring water, artisan water) are entirely dependent upon a safe, fresh supply of constantly recharged and replenished water for their livelihood.
“Many public water systems draw at least a portion of their water supply from groundwater, so protecting this renewable resource also helps ensure municipal water supplies are safe and treatment costs are reduced.”
