This is such a wonderful resource for people who may not have ever thought about groundwater contamination! Super easy to understand and shows how everyone can help improve our environment.
Simple question, complicated answer. Natural compounds that reach high enough concentrations can be harmful like nitrates, bacteria, and chlorides. Other compounds can be harmful even in small amounts such as heavy metals, pesticides, VOCs, and other toxins. We tried to provide general understanding without getting into the 80,000+ listed potential contaminants.
Great question. The focus of this video was contamination. The precursor to it was about groundwater in general (ua-cam.com/video/gxENTkMmyEE/v-deo.html) and we covered water volume and aquifer levels.
@@CL-rm2iu I see not bad. I think we need an updated one and also on places without rain. Are main problem now is california using 10 billion gallons a day 60 to 70% of goes to farms 10% people 12% factorys the last goes to the sea. Sorry I thought it would help to know how much they use. But mybe a video on the effects of overuse or the lack of rain then overuse of the ground water it that cool?

This is great for my science class! Thank you!
We're glad you found it helpful. We have others in the series that you may find useful as well. We hope you check them out.
Thank you for the informative video
What are some water contaminants listen in this video?

You hear that? NO WEED KILLERS. no roundup
Can we talk about the excessive amounts of water taken out no ok then well it can and will effect them so why don't you talk about that
