Source Water Protection

Project Summary

The implementation of source water protection plans will require collaboration among water suppliers, the cities they serve, local units government within their respective Source Water Protection Areas, landowners, state and federal agencies, schools, and the general public. This requires the establishment of relationships among water suppliers and those upstream organizations and individuals whose actions influence source water.
