Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:128164

Protection of public water supply wells through wellhead protection (WHP) activities is also considered an important component of a Comprehensive State Ground-Water Protection Program (CSGWPP). EPA has established a set of ground-water protection principles which recognizes that the primary role of ground-water protection should be vested with the states. EPA is providing funds to states to undertake necessary WHP activites and programs as a critical component of a CSGWPP.
