Federal Index of Information Relevant to Source Water Assessment and Protection
Many Federal
agencies have general information on water quality and surface and ground
water hydrology as well as specific information on watersheds or aquifers,
and federally-owned public water supplies. Federal agencies
also have technical expertise and copies of existing information on drinking
water source protection areas collected under other statutes or initiatives
that involved water quality assessment and protection efforts. This
data could supply much of what is required for certain drinking water source
assessments. As part of the 1998
Clean Water Action Plan Federal Agency Source Water Agreement
This Federal Index is a compilation of readily accessible resources. However, it is not all encompassing, since much water quality data and assessments are not available electronically. Federal offices at the regional state and local level have agreed to share information to drinking water source protection. Please contact Federal Regional and State level offices for more details on a particular facility or Federal land. This Federal Source Water Data Index is divided into four categories, paralleling the steps of an assessment and local protection: Delineation, Inventory, Susceptibility and Protection. Also, the data sources are listed By Agency. Lastly, if
you find sources of federal information that are useful to the assessment
process, PLEASE LET US KNOW.
Other states or tribes might benefit from your finding.
