The 1996 amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act require that all states develop a source water assessment plan and that source water assessments be prepared for all public drinking water systems within the state. To satisfy these amendments, the Nonpoint Source Section developed the Kansas Source Water Assessment Program Plan (SWAPP). Under the Kansas SWAPP, an assessment of potential sources of pollution that may threaten drinking water sources, within a defined area must be completed. To aid local public water supply systems during the SWAPP process, the Nonpoint Source Section has developed this reference document, which is intended to provide information on potential pollution concerns associated with a given land use or activity. Additionally, the information included is intended to assist in evaluating whether or not a pollution source is being managed adequately. The document also acts as a referral guide to experts in a given environmental field or discipline. These "experts" may be able to provide additional information regarding regulatory status, potential pollutants, proper chemical and/or waste handling, spill prevention, current remedial activities, etc.

"This document is a demonstration of how the State of Kansas, Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) plans to implement a strategy to assist existing public water systems in improving their technical, financial, and managerial (TFM) capabilities. This initiative is a requirement imposed by the 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) on all states that wish to receive full funding from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for their drinking water revolving loan programs. Section 1420 of the SDWA specifies five elements that a state must consider when preparing a strategy for helping existing public water systems to improve their TFM capacity."

New York City's municipal water supply system provides about 1 billion gallons of drinking water a day to over 8.5 million people in New York City and about 1 million people living in nearby Westchester, Putnam, Ulster, and Orange counties. The combined water supply system includes 19 reservoirs and three controlled lakes with a total storage capacity of approximately 580 billion gallons. The city's Watershed Protection Program is intended to maintain and enhance the high quality of these surface water sources. Review of the New York City Watershed Protection Program assesses the efficacy and future of New York City's watershed management activities. The report identifies program areas that may require future change or action, including continued efforts to address turbidity and responding to changes in reservoir water quality as a result of climate change.
