About
Home and Farm*A*Syst Programs
Every home or farm in a watershed
has potential pollution sources that can affect the health of families,
communities, and water resources. By identifying what our impacts
are on water quality and understanding how they can be reduced or
eliminated, we can better protect our family's health and the health
of the watershed in which we live. Home
and Farm*A*Syst programs provide voluntary and confidential water
quality/environmental risk assessments you can use to evaluate your
home and/or farm property for pollution and health risks. Although
its emphasis is on protecting drinking water resources, following
the "best management practices," the program also helps
protect the entire watershed's water quality.
This web site introduces you to the
Home and Farm*A*Syst programs and provides a series of risk screening
questions on a variety of pollution topics that can help you identify
"areas of concern" on your property. It also offers links
to other web sites that can give you more information on specific
topics along with other important water quality links at both state
and national levels. |
