Groundwater protection in selected countries
Point sources
Abstract
The report compares different strategies for protection of groundwater against point
source contamination in five countries: Austria, Denmark, England, Spain and the USA. A
quantitative comparison is made of the environmental pressure and of the groundwater
resources. The role of the precautionary principle is discussed, and the concept of
milestones as an instrument to assess different protection strategies is introduced.
Milestones in efforts to protect the groundwater against point source contamination fall
into one or more of three categories: legislative, technological and
implementary.
Only available online.
