Abstract

While the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) applies to all public water systems in the United States, the severity and prevalence of violations vary among locations.

A study investigated drinking water quality, indicated by statistics of the SDWA in the 13 Appalachian states from 2010 to 2022, to identify any differences in violations.

The need for better water system management and infrastructure in economically disadvantaged regions is clear, along with public education and effective policies.

了解阿巴拉契亚地区的饮用水质量

虽然《安全饮用水法案》（SDWA）适用于美国所有的公共供水系统，但各地违反该法案的严重程度和普遍性却不尽相同。一项研究调查了 2010 年至 2022 年阿巴拉契亚 13 个州的 SDWA 统计数据所显示的饮用水质量，以确定违规情况的差异。经济落后地区显然需要更好的供水系统管理和基础设施，以及公众教育和有效的政策。
