mining activity can be a cause...
Desalination plants are not a major source of groundwater pollution. Groundwater pollution is typically caused by activities such as industrial discharges, agriculture runoff, and leaks from underground storage tanks.

It is always easier to cleanup something if you can get to it. * Streams (and their beds) can be worked on pretty easily. * Groundwater is pretty mysterious: flows are difficult to observe, drawdown to collect pollution depends on porosity, you don't know when the job is done
Methane is a common source of natural groundwater pollution. It can seep into groundwater from natural deposits or from human activities such as oil and gas drilling. Methane contamination can affect water quality and pose risks to human health.
Groundwater is water that is stored beneath the earth's surface in soil and rock formations. Groundwater pollution from landfills occurs when chemicals and toxins from the waste leak into the groundwater, contaminating it and posing risks to human health and the environment. This is a common environmental danger of landfills because the liner systems meant to prevent leakage can degrade over time, allowing pollutants to seep into the groundwater.

The Arsenic in the groundwater is of natural origin, and is released from the sediment into the groundwater owing to the anoxic conditions of the subsurface. Arsenic in a river however is mainly due to calculated release or accidents at chemichal plants using it for various purposes.

Some fish and seafood contain high amounts of arsenic.This organic type of arsenic is much less harmful to humans than inorganic arsenic from groundwater
Groundwater pollution.
groundwater is water found below the ground. In many countries such as the UK, Nambia and Bangladesh, groundwater is a major water source for the population. Contamination of groundwater then, is the pollution of this water which often has major ramifications for a population. Major contaminants are nitrogenous fertilizers, and heavy metals found in the soil or rocks. Chalk and even certain types of plants have been used to combat groundwater contamination. Water hyacinth, for example, a plant found in Bangladesh was used to decrease the amounts of arsenic found in the groundwater in that country.
Of course but all countries have water pollution.
