The City of Worcester's Water Resources Protection Overlay Districts (WRPOD) were created to protect the groundwater of the city for future use. The city realizes that protecting its water resources is essential in maintaining a high quality of life in urban settings. Our project, in conjunction with the Office of Planning, assessed the WRPOD in Worcester. It entailed an evaluation of current regulations, documentation of history, creation of GIS maps and databases, and recommendations to the city for improvements.
