Bringing Agriculture and Drinking Water Utilities Together for Source Water Protection

Mehan, G. Tracy III / Carpenter, Adam T.

While point‐source discharges are regulated for source water contamination, that's not necessarily the case with agricultural nonpoint sources.

Partnerships between drinking water utilities and farmers benefit from a mutual understanding of each partner's efforts and challenges in source water protection.

Examples of long‐standing collaborations between utilities and agricultural interests serve as models for new source water protection projects.

The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 mandates that 10% of all conservation funds or $4 billion over 10 years is to be spent on source water protection.
