groundwater protection strategies

Groundwater protection involves preventing contamination of underground water sources by managing land use, controlling pollutants, and promoting responsible waste disposal. Strategies include monitoring water quality, implementing regulations for industry and agriculture, promoting practices like proper waste storage, and protecting recharge areas where water enters the ground. Public education and land planning help reduce pollution risks. These efforts maintain clean, safe groundwater essential for drinking, agriculture, and ecosystems, ensuring long-term water availability and health.
