The Eastern Shore of Virginia is dependent on ground water as its only source of fresh water but, without appropriate planning and management, this important resource could easily be irreversibly damaged. Federal, State, and Local governments as well as private citizens on the Eastern Shore are working to protect and preserve the ground water, not only for today's users, but also for future generations. See previous awards.

The Eastern Shore of Virginia Ground Water Committee would like to recognize and award those individuals and institutions that benefit this most valuable resource. A short application form provides for identification and documentation of the water resource benefit, such as:

• Water Conservation
• Recharge Area Protection / Preservation
• Aquifer Preservation
• Recycling / Reuse
• Pollution Prevention
• Public Education and Community Outreach

Individuals/institutions can apply for the Award in three simple steps:

• Fill out Award Application form
• Review Award Application form with Committee Staff
• Visit site with Committee Staff

Approval of final Award Applications will be made by Ground Water Committee. Awards will be presented at the Ground Water Committee annual meeting.

Ground Water Committee Staff will provide assistance to individuals wishing to apply for an award.
