Abandoned Well Plugging Demonstrates Environmental Concern
Abstract
Protection of groundwater used by private water users was the focus of an educational program entitled "Safe Water for Kansas." The central theme of the program was to encourage people to properly plug abandoned water wells. Each event resulted in at least one plugged abandoned well. Other topics included water testing, new well site selection, and well construction. Over 175 demonstrations were conducted with around 6,000 individuals in attendance.
