In many countries, groundwater is generally more reliable for use than surface water. For example, in the United States, 56% of the population relies on groundwater for their drinking water. However, groundwater resources are vulnerable because any chemical that is easily soluble and that can penetrate the soil is a prime candidate for a groundwater pollutant. Chlorinated hydrocarbons and heavy metals are two of the most serious pollutants threats continuously released to the groundwater as a result of many industrial operations and waste disposal (Kjeldsen et al., 2001).
