“…Consistent with observations worldwide (Pankow et al, 1996), chlorinated solvent contamination is prevalent and persistent for decades, e.g. under speci®c cities such as Birmingham (Rivett et al, 1990a;Taylor and Rivett, 1999) and Coventry (Burston et al, 1993) and elsewhere (Rivett et al, 1990b;Lawrence et al, 1992;Misstear et al, 1998). In contrast to the US where groundwater contaminant plumes have been delineated and remediated over km-scale areas signi®cantly beyond the boundaries of contaminated sites (Jackson, 1998;Mackay and Cherry, 1989), published case histories and anecdotal evidence in Britain suggest that the vast majority of groundwater investigations and remediations are restricted to areas largely within the site boundaries of the site owner/problem holder.…”

“…La contaminación por nitrato en las ciudades tiene fuentes no puntuales, por lo que la correlación exacta con el uso de suelo no es posible. La presencia de sulfatos puede deberse a la posible adición de emisiones industriales y fugas de los alcantarillados urbanos (Burston et al, 1993;Ford y Tellam, 1994;Lerner et al, 1994). Otra actividad contaminante es el abandono de pozos y obras de captación de AS debido a la infiltración de agua de mala calidad, a la presencia de microorganismos, amonio, nitritos y un alto contenido de nitratos y aumento de la dureza y salinidad del AS (Apodaca et al, 2002).…”

“…La presencia de Pb, Cr, Cu, Zn, S y V se debe a la contaminación del suelo debido a la industrialización y actividades agrícolas intensas (Krishna y Govil, 2004). La industria es la responsable de introducir metales pesados al AS hecho que se verificó por la correlación de uso de suelo y presencia de metales (Burston et al, 1993;Ford y Tellam, 1994;Lerner et al, 1994;Takizawa, 2008b). La presencia de disolventes orgánicos y el resultado del amplio uso de detergentes y substancias similares y de componentes de boro se convierten en serios riesgos de contaminación de los recursos hídricos (Stenger et al, 2006;Kuroda y Fukushi, 2008).…”
