The two main contaminants of groundwater are the pesticides and the fertilisers used in crop to put the crop in a good production.

Explanation:

  • We say groundwater is contaminated when some toxic things find their way to the groundwater and make it dangerous for human use.
  • The pesticides reach the ground through runoff and so groundwater contaminated due to their 'lower absorptive capacity' and 'higher infiltration rates'.
  • Over use of nitrogenous fertiliser the water get contaminated.
  • Some other hazardous substances which contaminates the groundwater are gasoline, diesel, chemicals,road salts and etc,
  • These substances make the pure groundwater unsafe for the use of human beings and animals.
