The item is down-gradient when liquid will flow toward it upon encountering a water table or a restrictive layer. The item is up-gradient when liquid will flow away from it upon encountering a water table or restrictive layer.
2
If surface water is used as a public drinking water supply, the greywater system must be located outside of the required source water protection area.
