Virus Removal by Soil Passage at Field Scale and Groundwater Protection

  • Chapter
Riverbank Filtration: Understanding Contaminant Biogeochemistry and Pathogen Removal

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAIV,volume 14))

Abstract

Both groundwater and surface water are extensively used as sources of potable water. Groundwater may become contaminated with viral, bacterial and protozoan pathogens from domestic wastewater, e.g., improperly designed or malfunctioning septic systems, leaking sewer lines, land application of wastewater or its mixing with infiltrated surface water. Surface water may be contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms from discharges of treated and untreated wastewater and by manure run-off from agricultural land.
