A cross-section diagram titled "Typical Routes of Ground Water Contamination" that illustrates how human activities can pollute underground water sources.

The diagram shows layers of earth beneath the surface, including a top "Water Table Aquifer," followed by two "Fresh" artesian aquifers, and a deep "Saline" artesian aquifer. These aquifers are separated by impermeable "Confining Zones."

Above ground, the diagram displays sources of contamination. Precipitation washes contaminants from "Pesticides, land spreading, & irrigation" and "Landfill" waste down into the ground through a process called percolation. This is shown as "Unintentional Leakage" with red dotted arrows. Other sources of unintentional leakage include leaking "Sewers" and "Lagoon pit basins."

The diagram also shows "Intentional Input" of waste, marked by green dotted arrows. A "Cess pool septic tank" discharges into the shallow water table aquifer. A "Disposal injection well" injects waste deep into a lower fresh aquifer, but also shows red arrows indicating unintentional leakage from its casing into an upper fresh aquifer.

Finally, the diagram illustrates "Ground Water Movement" with gray dotted arrows. A "Pumping well" draws water up, creating a flow that pulls water from a nearby "Stream" and the surrounding aquifer toward it, potentially drawing in contaminants. Above the ground, clouds show the natural water cycle of "Precipitation" and "Evapotranspiration."

The main takeaway is that groundwater is vulnerable to contamination from numerous sources on the surface and underground, both accidental and intentional, and that human activities like pumping can alter the natural flow of this water.
