Groundwater Contamination in Perspective (NERC)

This 12 page booklet explains what groundwater is and why it is an important resource, supplying much of our drinking water and providing most of the riverflow during dry periods. Because of this, groundwater affects us all. Groundwater contamination is expensive, difficult and time-consuming to investigate and put right: prevention is invariably the best option . . . Published by NERC in 1998 and drawing on BGS, NERC, UKEA, EU and UNEP sources.
