The status of Long Island groundwater, its biggest threats and contaminants, and the resulting problems. Long Island is especially venerable to groundwater contamination because Long Island’s aquifers are resident’s only water source. Development and agricultural use of the island have greatly contributed to contamination.

aquifers? It is estimated that 55% of Texas water supply is retrieved from groundwater also known as aquifers. Aquifers are used for different purposes such as manufacturing, livestock, mining however more than three quarters percent is used for irrigation. Throughout this research, we find that most of the aquifers are contaminated through petroleum spillages.
