BUILD A PLAN THAT FITS!
WHAT IS FITS?
FITS is a one-stop-shop tool that
explains how users can integrate
various federal funding sources to
support activities that protect
sources of drinking water.
The tool uses the steps of a source water
assessment and protection program
(e.g., delineation of a source water
protection area), and real-life examples
to demonstrate how federal funding
sources may be used for activities that
protect sources of drinking water.
