Major Elements
In general, the Source Water Assessment Programs for West Virginia consists of three major elements:
- Delineation of SWPAs -- Area that contributes ground water or
surface water to a public water supply system.
- Identification of significant potential sources of contamination
-- Locating the facilities or land uses within that area that may
threaten the water quality.
- Susceptibility analysis -- The susceptibility of the systems to
contamination.
