The objective is to proactively safeguard raw water sources (such as groundwater, lakes, or rivers) from contamination, thereby reducing the need for costly treatment upgrades and supporting public health. Eligible projects may include both the creation of new protection plans and the implementation of existing, department-endorsed plans, encompassing outreach, education, and best management practices.
