Title
Groundwater Capture Area [Minnesota]
Description
The “capture zone” is the proposed capture area within the aquifer. When there isn't a surface water contribution, the groundwater capture area is identical to the wellhead protection zone. When a conjunctive delineation is used, the groundwater capture area (GWCA – same as “capture zone’) and the surface water contribution area ( SWCA) are combined to form the wellhead protection area (WHPA)., This dataset was developed with the intention of protecting the public drinking water supply and complies with the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, United States Code, title 42 and the State of Minnesota Rule (parts 4720.5100 to 4720.5590)., Date meta data was created
