groundwater pollution causes and prevention
Answers
Explanation:
Pesticides taint surface and groundwater sources as runoff from crops, golf courses, and suburban and urban areas. The EPA has established standards for public water systems to guard against pesticides. VOCs are found in products such as fuel oils, gasoline, solvents, paints, and refrigerants.
Landfills should be properly designed, maintained, and operated. Sites should be located away from sensitive groundwater areas. Hazardous wastes should be banned unless the landfill is properly designed and monitored against dangerous levels of bacteria, organic chemicals, metals, and nitrates.
Underground storage tanks should be able to meet regulatory compliance policies on their installation and maintenance. A leak backup containment device should be in place in case of spills. Unused tanks should be removed or filled with inert material.
Pipelines should be properly installed, regularly inspected and maintained against corrosion, defective welds, and displacement caused by tree roots and vibrations from heavy vehicles.
Deep Groundwater should be regularly tested and inspected, especially in urban areas that rely on it as a major source of water.
