Article Synopsis
- Agricultural activities, particularly fertilizer use and treated wastewater for irrigation, significantly risk groundwater pollution, affecting water quality.
- The study analyzes how soil clay content impacts the retention of pollutants like nitrates, phosphates, nickel, and lead, generated from common agricultural practices.
- Results reveal that sandy soil retains lower amounts of these pollutants compared to clayey soil, changing the risk ranking for groundwater contamination based on soil type.
