Pollution can significantly impact an aquifer by contaminating the groundwater sources that it contains. Harmful substances, such as chemicals, heavy metals, and pathogens, can seep into the aquifer from surface activities, affecting water quality and making it unsafe for drinking and irrigation. Additionally, pollutants can disrupt the natural balance of ecosystems reliant on the aquifer, leading to broader environmental consequences. Over time, such contamination can render aquifers unusable, necessitating costly remediation efforts.
