Abstract

Groundwater is the cleanest natural resource; however, in the past decades several anthropogenic problems have threatened the natural quality. In coming decades, the population growth in global scenario may further lead pressure on it, while the ecology and chemistry of ground water quality may be amplified due to consequences of climate change. Eventually, it would be risk to use in human, agricultural, and recreational practices, particularly in developed and underdeveloped countries. Because of the numerous human activities contaminating drinking water and its assurance to continue to be used safely, water quality is be restored through the contemporary remediation processes. The importance of ascertaining processed water quality cannot be overstated in this context. Comprehending groundwater quality can greatly assist policymakers when it comes to effective water resource management in polluted areas. This report is outlined with an effort to explore the fundamental causes and impacts of groundwater contamination, as well as to address the current controlling concerns and contemporary challenges.
