Groundwater Quality

Groundwater quality refers to the condition of water found underground in aquifers, which are natural underground reservoirs. It is crucial because this water often supplies drinking water, irrigation, and industrial uses. Various factors can affect groundwater quality, including pollution from agricultural practices, industrial waste, and chemicals. Contaminants such as heavy metals, bacteria, and nitrates can harm human health and ecosystems. Monitoring and protecting groundwater quality is essential to ensure safe water for communities and maintain environmental balance. Efforts include regulations, conservation practices, and pollution prevention strategies to safeguard this vital resource.
