§ 9.154. Groundwater resources.

 (a)  In many areas with limited water supply, groundwater is the main source of water supply. Excessive withdrawals may lead to groundwater mining and loss of surface flows. In addition, uncontrolled land use and development may cause pollution and create impervious cover preventing groundwater recharge.

 (b)  It shall be the environmental policy of the Commonwealth to protect and conserve groundwater resources by preventing pollution, protecting critical recharge areas, and discouraging overuse.
