Groundwater pollution differs from surface water contamination in several important respects. Among them, it does not typically flow to a single outlet. It can affect people through wells dug in a contaminated aquifer, as it can flow into streams or lakes.
The Importance of Aquifers When water sinks into land, the ground acts like a giant filter. Stonesand sand in the ground can filter out bacteria and other living organ-isms. This ground filter also removes some harmful chemicals andminerals. The filtering process can make groundwater clear and cleanand ready to drink.ow to Make a Well Drill into the ground with specialmachinery.When the drill hole reachesbelow the water table, lower apipe into it.At the top of the well, install apump powered by a motor orhuman effort to pull up water. 1 2 3 aquifer Water is brought up from the ground in various ways.
