A factory located near the top of a hill leaks chemicals into the groundwater. How could this leakage affect the groundwater at the bottom of the hill? Could more than one place be affected? Explain.

The water present underneath the Earth exterior between rocks and soil spaces is called groundwater.

The deliberate upsurge of contaminants in the water is called water pollution it modifies the natural rich environment of water microbiota and composition.

Human activities like the release of chemicals from industries and factories in water bodies result in water and soil pollution.

Chemical leakage from factories runoff adds to a water body at the bottom of hills impacting its quality.

The polluted water with chemicals will result in diseases and death of the microbiota of aquatic life and terrestrial organism consuming it.

Chemicals can also affect the soil environment by contaminating it.

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.
