<h1>Groundwater Protection Guidance</h1><p>Portsmouth Water relies on abstraction from groundwater for public water supply. In order to ensure groundwater protection we have created a series of groundwater protection guidance documents relating to different types of developments.</p><p>These documents provide guidance on Portsmouth Water's preferred approach to development relating to groundwater quantity and quality within our catchments and how we wish developers to plan and deliver their sites.</p>
