Hydrogeologists & Remediation Engineers - Groundwater Contamination

In this 57th episode, I discuss How Does Ground Water Get Contaminated? Ground Water typically gets contaminated through soil seeping or leaching contamination from the soil down into the Ground Water as gravity pulls down on it. Sometimes there is a direct line from the surface to get contamination directly into the Ground Water, like an old water well. The typical sources of Ground Water Contamination are from Agricultural Runoff, Leaking Storage Tanks and Spills, Failing Septic Tanks, Improper Waste Disposal and from Faulty Wells. Most of these common sources involve the travel of the contamination through the soil and down into the Ground Water then being mobile in the aquifers, but in the cases like Old Water Wells, they can be a more direct path for the contamination to get to the Ground Water and into the Deeper Aquifers. In all cases, the remediation of Ground Water is complex and expensive.
