2025 Groundwater Policy Report

The Environmental Quality Board (EQB) is leading a interagency working group to develop Minnesota’s 2025 Groundwater Policy Report, a required legislative report on the state’s groundwater protection programs. Our goal is for the report to support informed decision making on groundwater issues by:

• Providing foundational information about groundwater in Minnesota
• Describing the state’s collaborative approach to protecting groundwater
• Describing important threats to Minnesota’s groundwater and the actions being taken to mitigate those threats
• Identifying important gaps and opportunities to be addressed

We are seeking feedback on a preliminary report outline to make sure the report will be useful, informative, and fulfill these goals. We want to hear your concerns about groundwater, and what you see as gaps and opportunities in protecting it. We encourage to share your thoughts and feedback on any or all of the sections below.
