Drinking Water Protected Areas for Groundwater in Wales
All groundwater bodies in Wales are designated as drinking water protected areas (DrWPAs). This aims to protect groundwater from over-abstraction and to prevent deterioration in groundwater quality that could increase the treatment of drinking water. Drinking Water Protected Areas are required to be identified under the Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) (England and Wales) Regulations 2017.
