What Measures Can Be Taken to Protect Groundwater?
Protecting groundwater from contamination involves both prevention and remediation strategies. Prevention includes enforcing regulations on the use and disposal of hazardous substances. Sustainable agricultural practices can reduce the use of harmful fertilizers and pesticides. Remediation methods, such as bioremediation and filtration, can be employed to clean contaminated groundwater. Public education and awareness are also key components in maintaining groundwater quality.
