Narrowsburg is a
water guardian

NARROWSBURG — The Groundwater Foundation has announced that Narrowsburg has recently entered the Groundwater Guardian program. Groundwater Guardian, a program of The Groundwater Foundation, supports, recognizes and connects communities, taking voluntary, pro-active steps toward groundwater protection.

Each year, communities enter the program and work toward goals established by a team of community representatives. There is no cost to enter the program; rather, the team adopts and works to implement an activity that protects groundwater, such as public awareness, education, conservation, pollution prevention, public policy or best management practices.

The program began in 1994 with eight communities, and has grown steadily each year. A rolling entry date is available for communities entering the program for the first time. According to Groundwater Guardian Director Rachael Herpel, “A rolling entry date allows communities to get involved with the program at any time during the year. Communities can use the program to take advantage of local interest and get local leadership involved.”
