Over the past 2 million years, the human lineage evolved from a group of bipedal, apelike beings to makers of stone tools, controllers of fire and producers of cave art. Humans went on to flourish in language and arts, becoming constructors of towns, cities, nations and empires, and ultimately becoming a core force in the global ecosystem. How did this happen? Were these advances solely the results of competition for resources, or did they grow from something more complex and distinctive?

Join water professionals from across the country to help keep water in municipal and private wells safe for all.
The National Ground Water Association estimates that 44% of the U.S. population gets drinking water from groundwater that feeds into a municipal or private well. It is vital to protect these wells from contaminants such as bacteria, heavy metals, or chemicals that may harm human health. While municipal and private wells are subject to different regulations, ensuring safe drinking water requires quality water sources, proper well construction, and accurate data to guide outreach, monitoring, and treatment efforts.
