Policy on external links

    EPA’s Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water maintains this site to help you find and use information on the environment and public health. EPA supports the public's right to know and hopes that this web site will contribute to your understanding of environmental issues. 

    We link to many other sites on the Internet, including the states, water suppliers, and groups associated with ground water and drinking water.  In general, we link to sites that offer information of interest to our users, based upon the following criteria:

• The site provides information primarily about the environment.
• The site is not primarily a commercial site or a fund-raising site.
• The site is not concerned exclusively with lobbying for a political agenda.
• The information presented does not attack or disparage any individuals by name.

    Links to non-EPA sites do not imply any official EPA endorsement.  Furthermore, EPA does not accept any responsibility for the opinions, ideas, data or products presented at those locations, or guarantee the validity of the information provided. EPA does not guarantee the suitability of the information for any specific purpose. 

    Due to the dynamic nature of the Internet, resources that are free and publicly- available one day may require a fee or restrict access the next. The location and content of web pages may change as menus and web sites are reorganized.  It may not be feasible for EPA to promptly remove a link to a site which no longer meets the criteria specified here. 

    For related information, please read EPA’s Internet privacy and security policies.
