soil and groundwater remediation

Soil and groundwater remediation refers to the process of cleaning up contaminated soil and water to make them safe for use. Contaminants can come from various sources, like industrial activities or spills. The remediation process may involve techniques like pumping out polluted water, filtering out harmful substances from both soil and water, or introducing natural processes to break down pollutants. The goal is to restore the environment, protect public health, and often to enable land or water to be reused for safe purposes, such as agriculture or recreation.
