The groundwater protection guide is intended for use by local and County elected officials, technical and professional staff, and interested citizens. 

• Elected officials should use the information and recommendations within for setting policy on a variety of groundwater concerns. 
• Staff personnel can utilize this information to better understand and communicate the complicated interrelationships between groundwater, the physical environment, and human land use activities. 
• Interested citizens can use this information to take measures to protect their groundwater resources, just as a local government would to protect groundwater within their jurisdiction.
