💧 📣 When people think of groundwater, they might not consider the data behind it! However, data is analyzed by utilities every day to monitor groundwater quality, contamination risks, and visualize trends in water supply. A shoutout to utilities like the Lansing Board of Water & Light who are using data to build a more sustainable future!

Groundwater is a significant source of drinking water for many communities in Michigan – and around the world! Shoutout to communities such as Plainfield Charter Township who are engaging in dialogue around water quality best practices to ensure safe and healthy drinking water!

Happy #NationalGroundwaterAwarenessWeek!
