How could the scope of NAWQA’s assessment be expanded to include other groups of contaminants in addition to VOCs?
Currently, the National Water Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program’s water-quality results are mostly presented by various groups of contaminants, like volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Combining results for all groups together would provide a broader understanding of the quality of ground-water resources, and a more complete description could be obtained of all of the factors that cause or influence contaminants in ground water. This information could be used by well owners, water-resource managers, and scientists to most effectively control sources of contaminants to ground water, mitigate transport of contaminants to ground water, and understand the fate of contaminants in ground water.
