Description:
This document sets out the objectives of the Environmental Protection Agency's ground-water research; specifies the Agency's legislative mandates in ground water; and describes the research activities which support those mandates with explicit time frames; and identifies the clients of the research. The main EPA research activities are directed toward developing less costly and more accurate methods for detecting ground-water pollution; improving the scientific knowledge for predicting the movement, transformation, and fate of contaminants released into the ground-water environment; assessing the strategies and cost-effectiveness of the reclamation of polluted ground water; and enhancing the availability and accessibility of technical information related to ground-water pollution.
