Contaminant hydrology is the study of processes that affect both ground and surface water pollution. It draws on the principles of hydrology and chemistry. Contaminant hydrology and water quality research seeks to understand the role of soil properties and hydrologic processes on ground and surface water pollution and develop strategies to mitigate their impacts. Research is done at all scales ...

Ground water pollution causes adverse damage to soil, plants, human and animals at the same time spreads serious diseases. Ground water pollution can also cause biochemical effects such as inhibition of enzymes, genetic damage, and hypertension etc due to higher concentration of trace metals in the ground water. The present investigation is directed towards analysis of major metal ion concentra...

background: due to the increasing pollution of water resources, this study was carried out for evaluation of water quality pollution indices for monitoring of heavy metals (as, zn, pb and cu) contamination in ghahavand plain, hamadan province, western iran during spring and summer 2012. methods: totally, 20 ground water wells were chosen randomly. the samples were filtered (0.45 μm) and maintai...

A case study was carried out to see the impacts of shrimp culture on the surface (pond) and ground water (tube-well) quality in three coastal sub-districts of Bagherhat Sadar, Rampal and Morrelganj of Bangladesh. The people of Rampal (100%), Morrelgonj (87.5%) and Bagherhat (75.5%) expressed that salinity of both surface and ground water increased after shrimp culture, and water becomes more tu...

There is a resurgence of interest in controlling the excessive fertilization (eutrophication) of surface waters in order to protect domestic water supplies and other beneficial uses of waters from impairment (pollution) by excessive growths of algae or other aquatic plants whose growth is stimulated by nitrogen and phosphorus. An area of particular concern is the nutrients added to waterbodies ...
