about us
Groundwater is one of earth's most precious resources. At the Water Systems Council, it is our goal to offer education about individual water wells and small water well systems.
We are a national, non-profit organization that works to educate well owners, consumers, community leaders, elected officials, government agencies, planners and policy makers about wells and the importance of protecting our groundwater resources.
Waters Systems Council members include major manufacturers of components for wells and other small water well systems, leading distributors and manufacturer reps for those components, state associations of well contractors and groundwater professionals, and other drinking water organizations and individuals in the water well industry.
