AGI Welcomes NGWA as its 45th Member Society

Alexandria, VA — The National Ground Water Association (NGWA) has joined the American Geological Institute (AGI) as the Federation’s 45th Member Society.

AGI Executive Director, P. Patrick Leahy says of the addition, “AGI welcomes the National Ground Water Association as our 45th member society. NGWA brings a strong professional and scientific credential to the AGI federation in the ground-water resource area. Societal concerns about the availability and quality of water resources will be paramount for the foreseeable future. NGWA is a critical partner in strengthening the federation of geoscience organizations of AGI committed to serving the profession and society.”

NGWA is a nonprofit organization comprised of 14,000 U.S. and international ground water professionals. Like AGI’s mission of service to the geosciences community, NGWA is dedicated to advancing the expertise of all ground water professionals and to furthering ground water awareness and protection through education and outreach.

“As the world becomes increasingly complex, particularly those social and political issues that deal with water resources, it is important for NGWA to partner with organizations that can help convey the insights and experiences of our member professions to a larger audience. AGI’s Federation of Societies will help NGWA and its members in that way,” says Kevin McCray, NGWA’s Executive Director.
