Anything that is in the ground ( minerals, metals, fertilisers etc.) can be in well water in minute quantities. It is essential to lab test your well water at least annually to prove it is safe to drink.

What happens when contaminants find their way into an aquifer?
When contaminants find their way into an aquifer, there will be a need to purify the water again. There are filters built into this type of system to prevent contaminants from entering the drinking water.
How do scientists monitor water pollution?
They take regular samples from the rivers ans streams, and run a series of tests to see what contaminants are present.
Where diamonds are found are called?
Diamonds are found in diamond mines that circulate around volcanic pipes: mined diamonds.As well, diamonds are found under water where the water has washed over volcanic pipes that contain diamonds: alluvial diamonds.
What contains the most fresh water in the hydroshpere?
the Arctic glaciers. Well, the Antarctic ice sheets actually, contain about 4% of the world's water, and essentially all the world's fresh water (in % terms). Well 61% I have since found out.
Where is ground water found?
In the ground
When coffee absorbs water does it absorb contaminants in the water?
Yes, it can absorb the contaminants, as well.
How do you use analyze in a question?
Example: When I analyzed my sink water, I found a lot of contaminants.
Well water affect plant growth?
Only if it contains lots of contaminants.
Why is contaminants in soil hard to remove?
They do not break down easily and do not dissolve well in water.
What are water treatment plants used for?
Most plants are used for removing biological contaminants or chemical contaminants from a water supply such as an industry or agricultural business. Bio-degradation is used sometimes as well.
Are old water wells safe for household use?
That may be possible if the water is lab tested and found to be free of contaminants
What are the different types of contaminants?
There are four main types of contamination in water: Chemical, Radiological , physical, and Biological. The presence of contaminants is not necessarily a problem in itself. Many of the substances found in drinking water are harmless at low levels and some, like certain minerals, may even be beneficial. Physical contaminants Chemical contaminants Biological contamination Radiological contaminants Visit us for read more-
What is the use for sterile water?
Sterile water is used under circumstances where additional pathogens and other microbial contaminants; as found in regular water, need to be avoided.
What are all the substances that can be found in water?
That depends where the water comes from. If we exlcude contaminants (see http://www.epa.gov/safewater/contaminants/index.html for an overview) then minerals would be the logical answer.

What is crude gas?
Generally we refer to oil from a well as crude oil, but we referred to gas as produced gas. Most oil wells produce some gas. Natural gas from a well may require processing to remove contaminants and water. Natural gas from a well may require processing to remove contaminants and water.
How can water can contaminants be extracted from the water so that it is drinkable?
Distillation by boiling the water and then condensing the steam back into water will leave many contaminants behind.
