Ground Water Primer

illustration of drinking water well contaminationThis HTML update of our original ground water program educates users about the nature of ground water and the principles of groundwater protection. It contains a detailed introduction to hydrogeology, information on numerous drinking water contaminants, and a section on what you can do to protect your ground water. You can learn about ground water protection programs in EPA and other government agencies, and find EPA contacts and hotline numbers.

NOTE: For the most up-to-date information on drinking water maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) and maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs), please visit the EPA Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water site.
Audiences: homeowners, teachers, well & septic system owners
