"Over the last couple of generations, there has been a huge amount of groundwater pollution worldwide, and this has had a negative impact on our drinking water supply," says Barbara Sherwood Lollar, Canada Research Chair in Isotope Geochemistry of the Earth and the Environment at the University of Toronto. Society is trying to turn the groundwater pollution around and eventually stop it. The hard part in this process is proving that the microbes are actually cleaning up the contaminants. It's possible to bring back resources that would of been lost if people get together and work together to clean up the contaminated groundwater.
People need to realize that if this contaminated groundwater keeps up, it can be harmful to everyone in the long run. There are so many issues out there that come out of this problem, and if we all start now to think of ways of reducing it, and actually partaking in this action, it would be much healthier to the whole environment, and the people living in the environment.
