 Abstract

In general groundwater is preferred as a source of drinking water because of its convenient availability and its constant and good quality. However this source is vulnerable to contamination by several substances. Substances that can pollute groundwater are divided into substances that occur naturally and substances produced or introduced by human activities. Naturally-occurring substances causing pollution of groundwater include for example, iron, manganese, ammonium, fluoride, methane arsenic, and radionuclides. Substances resulting from human activities include, for example, nitrates, pesticides, synthetic organic chemicals and hydrocarbons, heavy metals etc.
