A Coordinate Transformation Model for Overlap Distribution: An Application to Groundwater Protection

Abstract

Taylor (1977) suggests that source protection is the 'first line of defense' in assuring drinking water quality. The intent of protective measures is to reduce or eliminate human activities which utilize substances that pose a potential contamination threat to the water source. The primary aim of the water supply industry has been to ensure that the consumer is provided with water which is free from pathogenic microorganisms. In spite of these incidences of bacteriological contamination, the major public concern with drinking water has been possible contribution to cancer risks due to chemical pollutants.
