Helping Others Get Safe Drinking Water

Note: A number of these are Christian in motivation. The Christian faith compels service to others, showing mercy, etc. (as instructed by Jesus Christ and the prophets in Judeo-Christian scripture). Islam likewise compels the believer to service and deeds of mercy, and this impulse is echoed in other religious traditions. If an overtly Christian (or faith-based) emphasis bothers you, focus on the secular choices or find opportunities aligned with your religious preference (suggestion: Google "your religion of choice" plus "water relief", which brings up a variety of options). To our knowledge, the below mentioned charities are legitimate and do what they say. Please tell us if otherwise.

What kind of work do we do? Here is an example:

City of Richmond, MI - Supervise and document attempted well rehabilitation and new construction

Richmond has a series of deep gravel wells supplying more than 2 MGD, with ground water operations handled by an outside contractor. One well was brought on line years after construction and produced poor water quality. A rehabilitation was attempted, but proceeded with difficulty and well damage occurred. Ground Water Science was engaged to assist the city in its decision-making process and to supervise and document attempted well rehabilitation and new construction.

“A clean well is a happy well.” Regular cleaning and maintenance head off conditions that cause the authorities to take action against you.
