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 more than ten years of protecting our water–sign up for our email updates and help the movement grow by becoming a member.
