Groundwater Quality
Groundwater quality refers to the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of water that is stored beneath the Earth's surface in underground aquifers. This type of water is typically used for drinking water supply and irrigation purposes, making it crucial to monitor and maintain high quality standards. Factors that can influence groundwater quality include natural processes, human activities, and contamination from pollutants. Monitoring and testing of groundwater quality is essential to ensure the safety and sustainability of this important resource.
