Groundwater remediation

Groundwater remediation is a process to help clean up contaminated groundwater. Contaminated groundwater is water that has been polluted with chemicals, trash, or other dangerous materials. When groundwater becomes contaminated, it can cause serious problems for people, plants, and animals because contaminated water can make them sick.

Groundwater remediation uses different kinds of technology and processes to help clean up the contaminated water. These processes can involve removing the chemicals or materials that are making the water polluted, or breaking down the contaminants so they are no longer dangerous. In some cases, clean water is added to help dilute the contaminants so they are not as harmful.

In short, groundwater remediation is a way to make sure that the water we drink, use, and play in is safe and healthy!
