Groundwater is a vital resource for approximately 3 million Ontarians.
Often it is the only source of clean water for drinking, farming, and
manufacturing. A number of municipalities use groundwater as the major
source of its citizens’ water supply.
The groundwater industry in Ontario had its beginnings in the early
1900s. The creation of the Ontario Water Resources Commission (OWRC)
was in 1955. The OWRC had the lead in developing regulations, policies
and guidelines, and securing abundant and safe groundwater supplies
throughout Ontario. The Ontario Ground Water Association was created
in 1952 as a not-for-profit organization to facilitate the various sectors
of the groundwater industry coming together for the delivery of safe
and clean water supplies throughout the Province.
