Abstract

If we are going to consider about the natural resources then ground water is one of them. As we know lots of cities as well as towns used to get proper water supply mainly via aquifers but unfortunately from time to time it is getting pretty polluted due to improper management. More importantly, if this kind of pollution remain persists the effect will be long term for sure. In India it has been observed that due to several human interferences mainly due to industrial purposes the level of such type of pollution become very high. Sometimes, porous as well as permeable soil creates different sorts of contaminants and as a result it can induce this kind of pollution. Now a days it has been a huge threat as for the human being because if ground water pollution from time to time enhanced it will only affect the human life as well as the nature. In addition, to be very honest residential, commercial as well as industrial and even agricultural activities all can affect the ground water quality in a larger ways. To protect from such type of pollution several water source pollution programs have been conducted to aware local people.
