Floyd County
Water Quality: Source Drinking Water Supply

A map showing the source drinking water supplies in Floyd County.

Forests and pure water go hand-in-hand. Forests filter precipitation as it trickles down to groundwater, and clean runoff water as part of the hydrologic cycle.

Forests also diminish the impact of strong storms by intercepting rainfall and filtering stormwater.

Forest root systems also help stabilize the ground to reduce the effects of streambank erosion.
