Source Protection: A National Guidance
Manual Surface Water Supplies, 2000
This manual is the updated and revised version of Source Protection: A Guidance Manual for Small Surface Water Supplies in New England, 1996. NEIWPCC created the new edition to incorporate changes brought about by the 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Amendments and to address national source protection issues.
The manual includes new SDWA requirements, information on microbial and disinfection rules, case studies from across the country, new funding and implementation assistance information, and an expanded chapter on source protection, planning, and implementation.
The concepts in the Manual are fairly basic and can be applied to systems of all sizes. Sections on cost savings, acceptable secondary uses, pollutants, land uses, best management practices, and implementation and assistance provide water suppliers with the information and tools they need to advance their planning and implementation processes.
