Undesirable results include any of the following: Persistent lowering of groundwater levels; Significant and unreasonable reductions in groundwater storage; Significant and unreasonable saltwater intrusion
These Wellhead Protection Programs must specify the duties of State agencies, local governmental entities, and public water supply systems to develop and implement wellhead protections. Identification of the area that needs wellhead protection must be based on the hydrologic and geologic information on groundwater flow , recharge , and discharge .
