Drinking Water - Source Water Inventory Project (SWIP) Home

Welcome to the Source Water Inventory Project Website!

Introduction

The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Amendments of 1996 require states to implement Source Water Assessment Plans (SWAP) to better protect public drinking water from contamination. These tasks include:
     Delineate source water areas
     Inventory significant potential sources of contamination
     Determine the susceptibility of each public water supply to contamination
     Make the results available to the public

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MoDNR) has developed a guideline for SWAP implementation in Missouri. The identification of potential contamination sources in areas that might affect a public drinking water source is an important component of this plan. CARES will perform this section of the plan.

The intent of the Source Water Inventory Project is to perform source water inventories as described in the MoDNR Drinking Water Source Water Assessment Plan. The project will focus on preparing databases for contaminant inventory support and collecting on-site data to improve contaminant inventories within source water areas. Work will be performed for both surface and ground water systems. The results of the SWAP findings will be made available to the public via this website.
