Groundwater

New York Rural Water Association (NYRWA)

Beginning in 1995, NYRWA has worked with ten towns in Columbia County to help protect their groundwater resources. The majority of this work was completed at no cost to these municipalities through federally-funded source water protection programs. More details about this project are included in the final report, posted below.
