The Groundwater Project

A FINAL NOTE FROM DR. EILEEN POETER: FAREWELL TO THE GROUNDWATER PROJECT ON MY RETIREMENT

For the past seven years, the Groundwater Project has been the center of my world. It has been educational and fulfilling, thanks to the incredible dedication of our volunteers and users. We have successfully built a truly exceptional, open-access global resource.

As I say farewell, I extend a massive thank you to everyone who contributed to the Project. I am profoundly grateful to Amanda Sills, my closest colleague, who is the absolute lifeblood of the Groundwater Project. Amanda has worn every imaginable hat for the organization with unmatched competence and grace - we simply would not be here without her.

💬 We would like to hear from you about how the Groundwater Project impacted your work or studies. Please share your experiences with us in the comments.

We had the privilege of interviewing the brilliant minds at KGS Group founding partner Bert Smith, Jason Mann, and Bonnie Hoffensetz, about their incredible work protecting groundwater during the 50km Winnipeg Floodway Expansion.

Beyond their groundbreaking engineering, KGS Group explained why they are proud founding sponsors of the Groundwater Project and active supporters of Lifewater Canada, helping to bring clean drinking water to communities in Africa and Haiti.

For KGS Group, hydrogeology is more than a business, it's about:
1️⃣ Honoring the legacy of great mentors (like Dr. John Cherry!)
2️⃣ Empowering the next generation of engineers with free, high-quality textbooks in 60+ languages.
3️⃣ Stepping out of the books, putting on the field boots, and finding real-world, sustainable solutions.

Curious to know how they used "reverse sand filters" to clean floodwater? Or why they chose to widen a channel instead of deepening it to protect a regional aquifer?
