Video: "An Ounce of Prevention"

Description

This 16-minute video was developed to encourage communities to be proactive in protecting their municipal water supply through wellhead protection planning. Preventing contamination makes more sense than having to deal with a contaminated water supply.

The video focuses on the steps needed to protect community wells and the benefits of preserving clean drinking water including: protecting citizen health, building community support, and enhancing economic growth. It shows how three Wisconsin communities formed committees of local citizens and technical experts who successfully used wellhead protection planning to safeguard their valuable water supplies. The video also identifies resources to help communities get started. This program is a joint effort between the DNR, several Wisconsin communities and partnering groundwater organizations.
