Groundwater can become polluted when contaminants from various sources, such as agriculture, industry, landfills, or leaking underground storage tanks, seep through the soil and reach the groundwater. Once these pollutants reach the groundwater, they can spread and persist, potentially affecting drinking water supplies and ecosystems. Preventing groundwater pollution requires proper management of waste, chemical use, and land practices to protect this vital resource.
