Contaminated groundwater has life-threatening repercussions for human, plant, and animal life. The monetary costs of maintaining clean water can be great, but not as great as those incurred from health risks that prevail if we ignore ground-water contamination. In mamy countries, the government obligates public water suppliers to furnish water that meets specific drinking-water standards; if it does not meet the standards when withdrawn from the source, it must be treated.
