Save Our Groundwater (SOG) is a New Hampshire Seacoast-based citizens action organization dedicated to protecting water in the public trust. We formed in 2001 in response to a bottled water company’s application to take more than 400,000 gallons/day from the aquifer underlying our rural communities; to date not one drop has been bottled. Join us in celebrating  twelve years of protecting our water–sign up for our email updates and help the movement grow by becoming a member.
