What happens when contaminants find their way into an aquifer?
Teddy2love2
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 does water move through underground layers of soil and rock and how do people obtain it from an aquifer?
In the same way, water underground trickles down between particles of soil and through cracks and spaces in layers of rock. People can obtain groundwater from an aquifer by drilling a well below the water table.
What causes pressure in an artesian well?
An artesian well is a pumpless water source that utilizes pipes that are underground to allow water that is under pressure to rise to the surface for use. One needs to use porous stone sandwiched between two layers of a substance such as shale, that is impermeable.
How do you control droughts?
We have no way to control a drought because a drought happens because a drought happens because of the climate and we cannot control the climate either.
Describe the unique problems of cleaning up groundwater pollution?
Sometimes the only way to regain use of the aquifer is to treat the water at its point of use. For large water providers, this may mean installing costly treatment units consisting of special filters or evaporative towers called air strippers.
One way that ecosystems respond to environmental change?
One way is when is like when global warming happens animals move out of their ecosystem in search of other foods thus creating a ripple affect.
Why is bioleaching so important?
used to clean up hazardous waste from industries, farms, & cities. it also cleans up oil spills. Bioremediation is used to fightRemediates contaminants that are adsorbed onto or trapped within the geologic materials of which the aquifer is composed along with contaminants dissolved in groundwater. polution.
How do you raise the water table of our well?
The best way would be to find a spot with very sandy soil so that water can percolate easily from the surface down into the aquifer. Then build a big pond over that spot. Keep the pond filled with water from rainwater or from a river or stream. As lots of water goes down into the aquifer from your pond, the water table in your well should rise.
What species of fish would likely contain the highest levels of contaminants?
Sport-caught fish and predator fish such as shark, swordfish, and king mackerel tend to have higher levels of contaminants. You should assume that the fish with the longest life before analysis has the most contaminants. Mercury in fish works this way. Animals higher on the food chain tend to (but don't always) concentrate contaminants from its prey. Also, bottom feeders like catfish, which are found in waters on nearly every continent, would have more contaminants.
Can ever you find a solution for earthquakes?
No there is no way to stop an earthquake. It just happens when it happens. Though I think Global Warming may have something to do with it.

Do you use either filtration a separatory funnel or charcoal filtration to remove contaminants from water?
None of them. One way would be to use a distillation apparatus.
