Some examples would be a) in limestone regions, the groundwater will contain dissolved alkaline minerals, which will coat the lining of pipes, and may even interfere with the action of soap.
b) in regions with a shallow iron deposits (from volcanic deposits perhaps) there may be dissolved iron salts in the water which will discolour the water, will make it taste sour, and may react with cooking.
c) in countries with volcanic ash soils, then there may well be excess arsenic in the water, which has many health problems. Shallow 'tube wells' in India would be an example.
In each case, careful selection of methods for water treatment may be required.
