I would guess that the vast majority of pollution in ground water comes from people discarding chemicals and materials in low line areas and eventually rain water will force those chemicals and materials through the ground and into the groundwater. We've also heard of, we're well aware of people who have wells and use the wells as a disposal site for toxic chemicals.
