Answer:
Explanation: ground water contamination is nearly
always the result of human activity. In
areas where population density is high and human
use of the land is intensive, ground water is especially vulnerable. Virtually any activity whereby
chemicals or wastes may be released to the environment, either intentionally or accidentally, has
the potential to pollute ground water. When
ground water becomes contaminated, it is difficult
and expensive to clean up.
To begin to address pollution prevention or remediation, we must understand how surface waters
and ground waters interrelate.
