Groundwater Studies

PLAN - MAP - TEST - PROTECT
Groundwater is an important natural resource in Vermont. Vermonters depend on groundwater for their drinking water supply, agriculture, manufacturing and to support aquatic habitat. Groundwater quantity and quality vary with climate, precipitation, overlying land use, and the rock and soil types through which it moves.

Geology and Health

SpringVermont's geology contributes to many facets of human health.  Bedrock, glacial materials, and soils each have positive and/or negative impacts on water quality and air quality. Healthy human bodies require minerals and elements (ex. salt, calcium, iron) which are transferred from the geologic environment through the food chain. Some geologic materials may filter contaminants so they do not reach groundwater supplies.
