TL;DR: A wellhead protection (WHP) plan as mentioned in this paper is a proactive management practice that protects the quality of groundwater that is a source of drinking water, which is part of an integrated multibarrier system to reduce risks to public health from drinking water.
Abstract: Groundwater, especially karst aquifers (1) or groundwater under the direct influence (2) of surface water, is vulnerable to contamination from possible contaminating activities (PCAs) (3) related to land use. A wellhead protection (WHP) plan (WHPP) essentially includes the integrated proactive management practice(s) that protect the quality of groundwater that is a source of drinking water. WHP is part of an integrated (from source to consumer's tap) multibarrier system to reduce risks to public health from drinking water. WHP fits into the World Health Organization's (WHO's) Water Safety Plan that recommends the use of hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCPs) as a risk management tool in drinking water operations (4). In the United States, many public water systems (PWSs) are required to conduct source water assessment (SWA) (3, 5, 6, 7). For PWSs that source from groundwater, a WHPP can be part of their SWA program (SWAP). A PWS must develop its WHPP in accordance with guidelines established by regulatory agencies (1, 2, 3).
