The
Groundwater Festival Program had its beginnings in the late 80’s in
Nebraska where a sixth grade class traveled to the state’s capitol
Lincoln to attend a symposium on groundwater. According to the
Groundwater Foundation, Groundwater Festivals have been held in 40
states, Mexico City, several provinces in Canada and New Delhi, India.

The
Groundwater Festival Program was introduced to Alabama in 1997 by Dr.
Enid Probst, Wellhead Program Coordinator for the Alabama Department
of Environmental Management. Since then thousands of fourth grade
students in over 25 counties have participated in the Groundwater
Festival Program. |
