The plan must include steps and time lines to:

  • evaluate the risks posed by drought to drinking water provided by public water systems;
  • establish a comprehensive list of the effects of drought on drinking water that may have an adverse effect on human health;
  • summarize the known adverse human health effects, factors that cause drought, and factors that exacerbate the effects of drought on drinking water provided by public water systems;
  • determine whether to establish guidance for quantifying the effects of drought on drinking water and for determining the frequency of monitoring necessary to detect the effects;
  • recommend feasible treatment options to mitigate such effects, including procedures, equipment, and source water protection practices; and
  • enter into cooperative agreements with, and provide technical assistance to, affected states and public water systems to manage risks associated with the effects of drought on drinking water.
