Summary

Source Protection Zones [Merged] have been created as public facing boundaries where individual groundwater bodies within Source Protection Zones (SPZ) have been dissolved so only the outer boundaries are shown. SPZs are defined around large and public potable groundwater abstraction sites. The purpose of SPZs is to provide additional protection to safeguard drinking water quality through constraining the proximity of an activity that may impact upon a drinking water abstraction.
