Source water protection vision and roadmap

"In 2007, a group of source water protection experts met, under the auspices of the Water Research Foundation and the Water Environment Research Foundation, to develop a research agenda that would ultimately provide information to help drinking water suppliers design and implement effective source water protection programs. A key result of that effort indentified the need for a national vision and roadmap that would guide U.S. water utilities and supporting groups with a unified strategy for coherent, consistent, cost-effective, and socially-acceptable source water protection programs. This brief document presents the vision and roadmap and focuses on how to move forward on source water protection." -- p. xi

"The companion document [CD-ROM] 'Developing a Vision and Roadmap for Drinking Water Source Protection' comprehensively covers the project team's findings regarding the various building blocks to make source water protection a reality. That document includes an annotated bibliography of source water protection resources, a summation of a literature review, and helpful water utility case studies." -- p. xi.
