Water conservation and water quality are growing in importance each day. Study and research to find new and better methods regarding its' use are being practiced in colleges and universities around the world. Through scientific methods and Ben Everson scholarshipsexperimentation, breakthroughs in water technology are helping us make more efficient use of every last drop of this precious resource. Innovative sand media tank filter design, pump protection against sand in water wells, and advances in underground water well photography are just three examples. Many schools offer curriculum focused on water, and some private organizations offer scholarships to encourage students to make this their main field of study.

LAKOS and Laval Underground Surveys are co-sponsors of the Annual Ben Everson Scholarships. Each company awards a $1,000 scholarship to college-bound students who come from a groundwater background and who plan to focus on water related studies. Ben Everson was a long-time employee at both companies, and had both a passion for efficient water use and a commitment to lifelong learning and encouraging young people. These scholarships aim to REWARD and ENCOURAGE the study of water conservation, water technology, and Best Practices in the field of water resources.
