About HGSD: In our area, the substantial, long-term withdrawal of groundwater has led to subsidence and has contributed to increased flooding, damage to roads, and infrastructure issues. Our mission is to prevent further subsidence by reducing our reliance on groundwater and improving efficiency with overall water usage. We are passionate about positively impacting our local communities and collaborate with many other organizations to achieve this.
