VIDEO: Ground Water and the Wellhead Protection Program

Wellhead Protection Video coverThis 20 minute video explores the question of where your drinking water comes from, and explains Ohio's Wellhead Protection Program (now incorporated under the Source Water Assessment and Protection Program). The video is designed for viewing by a general audience, from schoolchildren to community officials who may be initiating local Wellhead Protection plans. The video follows two children and their mother as they visit a local water treatment plant and two state agencies to learn about the source of their drinking water. They learn how ground water flows through the subsurface to the wells that pump it into a water treatment plant. They also learn how ground water can be polluted by pollution sources like leaking underground storage tanks, major transport spills, and septic systems.

Copies of the video (in either VHS or DVD format) can be obtained by contacting the Source Water Protection staff at the address below.
