Potential sources of groundwater contamination include landfill sites (sanitary and hazardous wastes), leaks and spills from petroleum, septic and chemical storage tanks, tailings dams, radioactive waste and the use of herbicides, pesticides and fertilisers for agricultural purposes.
Prevention detection and control requires effective containment and management techniques.
