Excerpt from California Well Standards: Water Wells, Monitoring Wells, Cathodic Protection Wells During an average year about forty percent of California's water supply comes from ground water. Ground water is used for agricultural, industrial, domestic, and municipal water supplies. Protecting the quality of California's ground water is essential to California's future. Improperly constructed wells can allow pollution of ground water to the point that the water is either unusable or it requires expensive treatment. The California Water Code requires the Department of Water Resources (DWR) to develop minimum standards for water wells, monitoring wells, and cathodic protection wells to protect ground water quality. This bulletin is a supplement to DWR Bulletin 74-81, Water Well Standards: State of California, December 1981. Standards in Bulletin 74-81 and this bulletin are minimum requirements for construction, alteration, maintenance, and destruction of water wells, monitoring wells, and cathodic protection wells in California. This bulletin was prepared in cooperation with the State Water Resources Control Board. The Board adopted a model water well, monitoring well, and cathodic protection well ordinance that implements DWR well standards. All California cities and counties, and some water agencies are required to enact local well ordinances that meet or exceed DWR standards, or they must enforce the Boards model ordinance as if it were their own. Sometimes well standards adopted by local agencies must be more stringent than DWR's statewide standards because of local conditions. Local agencies play a critical role in protecting ground water quality. Continued cooperation is needed between the public, industry, local agencies, and the State to ensure that these well standards remain adequate and are put into practice. California's water supply future depends on this cooperation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
