Support USNC and IAH Programs

• 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.
