i)Surface water pollution
Surface water pollution includes pollution of rivers, lakes and oceans. A subset of
surface water pollution is pollution. One common path of entry by contaminants to the
sea are rivers. An example is directly discharging sewage and industrial waste into the
ocean. Pollution such as this occurs particularly in developing nations.
ii) Groundwater pollution
Interactions between groundwater and surface water are complex. Consequently,
groundwater pollution, also referred to as groundwater contamination, is not as easily
classified as surface water pollution. By its very nature, groundwater aquifers are
susceptible to contamination from sources that may not directly affect surface water
bodies. Analysis of groundwater contamination may focus on soil characteristics and site
geology, hydrogeology, hydrology, and the nature of the contaminants.
