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.

After a year, the whole body of water would be pretty much uniform in pollution. This is happening with global warming. 7 billion people and all of our energy we produce dissipates (moves to) to the environment. So if we all have 96* body temps, and the air is 60*, the air will continually warm as we produce heat energy. ms
