Grant Description: The purpose of the Source Water Assessment and Protection Program is to enable tribes to assess any possible threats to their public drinking water supply sources and to develop protection measures to protect these sources against those threats. Source Water Assessment Programs (SWAPs) include basic elements of delineating source water areas around the drinking water source, identifying potential sources of contamination that may impact the protection area, determining the susceptibility of the identified potential sources of contamination to a drinking water source, and communicating the results to the served community. Source Water Protection Programs (SWPPs) take assessment efforts a step further and require on-the-ground management strategies based on community-wide involvement (e.g., through the design of control measures such as zoning ordinances, public outreach, and contingency plans), to manage identified potential contaminating activities.
