Published by data.iowa.gov | State of Iowa | Metadata Last Checked: August 06, 2025 | Last Modified: 2023-08-30
Source Water is a lake, stream, river or aquifer where drinking water is obtained. Source Water Protection (SWP) is the act of preventing contaminants from entering public drinking water sources. SWP includes both ground water (wellhead) protection and surface water protection. The Iowa Source Water Protection Tracker houses SWP plans, Phase 1 assessments, groundwater investigations, contact information, and other SWP efforts that communities have gone through to protect their drinking water. The Iowa Source Water Protection Mapper is designed to show spatially, an online version of the community's Phase 1 assessment, including an inventory of wells and contaminants. It lists most major programs and contaminants, with detailed location information throughout the state and links to existing databases.
