Some of us call it “The Buried Treasure”... Source (Drinking) Water Protection: It Takes a Community! Source Water protection, or lack thereof, affects every person on the planet. Everyone needs safe drinking water. But that does not always mean safe drinking water is affordable, or easily accessible. Safe drinking water should never be taken for granted! Just as it takes a village to raise its children, it takes a community to protect its drinking (source) water and the watersheds providing public/private drinking water supplies. Community Source Water Protection (CSWP) is the theme of a 16 part series I have developed and posted on LinkedIn and is also available upon request. Concepts presented and discussed with regards to public water systems can also be used by private well owners. A list of the individual posts in the series follows: A. CSWP – Table of Contents.pdf B.
