Pump and treat

Pump and treat is a groundwater cleanup method used to remove contaminated water from the soil. It involves drilling wells to pump out polluted groundwater, which is then cleaned through filtering or chemical treatment at the surface. After treatment, the cleaned water is often returned to the ground or safely disposed of. This method gradually lowers pollution levels and restores groundwater quality. It's commonly used for cleaning up leaks from underground storage tanks, industrial spills, or other contamination sources, helping protect drinking water supplies and the environment.
