injection takes place. Other proposed actions leading towards sustainability include
rainwater harvesting, water storage in containers that minimize evaporation, contamination prevention, formation of a grassroots and/or technical committee to
increase community participation in discussions about sustainability of local
resources, and environmental education outreach programs that would emphasize
the functions of aquifers and how to manage them sustainably.
