Overview Source Water Protection is a volunteer planning process conducted by local water utilities, as well as regional or national government agencies, to protect drinking water sources from overuse and contamination. This course will explore the elements of source water protection planning, sources of contamination and assessment of current supply sources, action planning as well as resources for collaboration and outreach and implementation. We will review source water case studies from across the nation to build understanding of best management practices, funding options and alternative water sources. This course provides information to help States, Tribes, and others increase their capability to implement the 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments, which will, in turn, promote better compliance and greater public health protection. The goal of this course is to bring together source water protection and watershed subject matter, agencies that own or manage property within a watershed, and the utilities that rely on that water as a drinking water source. This will be an opportunity for participants to share and learn together to gain understanding about how planning and projects within the watershed impact public drinking water systems, and the importance of source water and wellhead protection.
