Groundwater is a vital but hidden natural resource that benefits all our lives. Found in the pores and fractures in sand, gravel and other rock, it supplies drinking water, helps grow our food and is a key component in many industrial processes. It also is a source of recharge for lakes, rivers and wetlands.
That’s why protecting and conserving groundwater is critical. At Dow, we’re taking a holistic approach to water stewardship that considers our operations but also the ecosystems in the communities near our operations. See how we’re continually asking – then acting on – how we can collaborate and innovate to create a positive water impact and improve water savings.
