Creating a Comprehensive Data Set of Private Wells and Well Vulnerability in New York

Editor's Note: NEHA strives to provide up-to-date and relevant information on environmental health and to build partnerships in the profession. In pursuit of these goals, we feature this column on environmental health services from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in every issue of the Journal. In these columns, authors from CDC's Water, Food, and Environmental Health Services Branch, as well as guest authors, will share insights and information about environmental health programs, trends, issues, and resources. The conclusions in these columns are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the official position of CDC. The authors are research scientists in the Bureau of Water Supply Protection at the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH). Ursula Lauper is the principal investigator of the CDC-funded NYSDOH Safe Water for Community Health (Safe WATCH) cooperative agreement. David Dziewulski is the water systems control and analysis section chief.
