\n More than half of the people living in the United States get their drinking\n water from local groundwater supplies. According to the\n \n United States Geological Survey (USGS)\n <\/a>\n , groundwater should look clean and clear because that\u2019s the way Mother\n Nature cleans it; she filters out particulate matter as water flows through\n the ground.\n<\/p>\n

\n Unfortunately, it isn\u2019t a 100 percent foolproof system.\n<\/p>\n

\n Contaminants Find Their Way In<\/strong>\n<\/h3>\n

\n Contaminants that get into groundwater can be from natural or man-made\n sources. Natural sources could be the introduction of dissolved iron or\n manganese as the water filters through the ground. Or the source of\n contamination may be something we humans did or are doing.\n<\/p>\n

\n Some\n \n examples of man-made contaminants\n <\/a>\n that find their way into our groundwater supplies:\n<\/p>\n

\n \u00b7 Gasoline, oil and road salts washed from our streets and roads into the\n soil\n<\/p>\n

\n \u00b7 Pesticides and fertilizers runoff during irrigation and rain to soak into\n the water supply\n<\/p>\n

\n \u00b7 Toxic substances from mining sites or hydraulic fracturing\n<\/p>\n

\n \u00b7 Untreated wastewater from septic tanks or improper treatment facilities\n<\/p>\n

\n \u00b7 Toxic chemicals that leak from underground storage tanks and landfill\n sites\n<\/p>\n

\n Monitor the Water Supply<\/strong>\n<\/h3>\n

\n If you don\u2019t know it\u2019s broken, you won\u2019t know to fix it. This bit of\n conventional wisdom is applicable to clean drinking water.\n<\/p>\n

\n If you aren\u2019t monitoring your water supply system, you won\u2019t know if\n there\u2019s a problem brewing. It is far more cost-effective to protect water\n sources against contamination than clean it up after the problem is already\n manifesting in the population.\n<\/p>\n

\n Safe drinking water is a critical resource. If we\u2019ve learned anything from\n the\n \n water supply crisis in Flint, Michigan\n <\/a>\n , it is precisely how critical clean drinking water is.\n<\/p>\n

\n Rehabilitation for Groundwater<\/strong>\n<\/h3>\n

\n When contaminants have found their way into our water systems, it is a\n problem that needs a quick, reliable solution. There are different methods\n for treating groundwater that can remove harmful substances. These methods\n fall into three general categories: biological, chemical, and physical.\n<\/p>\n

\n Biological Methods<\/strong>\n<\/h3>\n

\n Biological groundwater rehabilitation methods use organics, such as\n microorganisms, organic matter, and (in some cases) plants to clean\n contaminated water. Biological filtration is an affordable water treatment\n plant system that relies on natural bacteria in the water. These bacteria\n convert and remove contaminants from the water in this easy-to-use, natural\n rehab method that requires little power usage.\n<\/p>\n

\n \n Bioaugmentation\n <\/a>\n, bioventing<\/a>, and biosparging<\/a> all use\n biological material to breakdown industrial wastewater and chemicals that\n may be present.\n<\/p>\n

\n Chemical Methods<\/strong>\n<\/h3>\n

\n Using a chemical method for groundwater rehabilitation can take longer and\n may be more costly than other methods. Chemical rehab is useful on some\n materials, however, that<\/a>\n other methods cannot treat. Many of the average 16,000 chemical spills\n occurring in the U.S. every year can pose a serious threat to groundwater\n sources. Using chemicals to clean up chemical contaminants is one way to\n fight this problem.\n<\/p>\n

\nSome examples of chemical rehabilitation methods are carbon absorption<\/a>\n ,\n \n chemical precipitation\n <\/a>\n , ion exchange<\/a>,\n and\n \n oxidation\n <\/a>\n .\n<\/p>\n

\n Physical Methods<\/strong>\n<\/h3>\n

\n Treatment methods that fall under this umbrella are usually the most basic\nof the groundwater rehabilitation methods. One example is air sparging<\/a>, or\n using air to strip water clean.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe most common physical method is pump and treat<\/a>.\n This technique does exactly what its name says: physically removing water\n from the ground and treating it with biological or chemical means.\n<\/p>\n

\n End Result: Clean Water<\/strong>\n<\/h3>\n

\n Each of the categories of groundwater treatment methods has more specific\n ways to go about accomplishing the ultimate goal: clean water. Regardless\n of the technique used for rehabilitation of a groundwater source, most\n treatment methods result in the removal of 85-95 percent of the pollution\n from wastewater and other contaminants. That\u2019s an impressive track record\n any day.\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
