Maintaining covered storage wells

Description

Maintaining covered storage wells involves regularly inspecting, cleaning, and repairing well covers to prevent contamination from debris, animals, and surface runoff. This strategy ensures the protection of stored water from pollutants and disease vectors, thereby safeguarding water quality and public health. Essential actions include sealing cracks, replacing damaged covers, and monitoring for unauthorized access, effectively remedying risks of waterborne diseases and resource loss due to evaporation or illegal extraction.
