What is groundwater contamination?

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.


Why do many scientists consider groundwater pollution a greater problem than surface water pollution?

Groundwater pollution is often considered a greater problem than surface water pollution because groundwater is susceptible to contamination from various sources and pollutants can persist for long periods due to the limited natural cleansing processes. Additionally, groundwater contamination can be difficult and expensive to detect and clean up, leading to potential long-term environmental and health impacts. Furthermore, many communities rely on groundwater as a primary source of drinking water, making pollution of groundwater sources a significant public health concern.
