Support USNC and IAH Programs

The USNC has the following ongoing goals:

• Introduce students to global groundwater issues by offering selected students gratis memberships. By introducing them to international issues, we encourage them to use their knowledge and raise other’s awareness of the role groundwater plays in the world’s water resources.
  
  
• Help sponsor professional members from developing countries to expand their access to hydrogeological knowledge and to facilitate their application of that knowledge to improve groundwater protection and management in their country.
  
  
• Reach our Endowment Fund goal of $20,000 in order to begin using earnings for providing student travel grants for IAH meetings, supporting IAH chapters in developing countries, and engaging in water development activities in developing countries.
