Sources of pollution has a negative impact on the quality of groundwater, where the levels of pollutants often exceed the maximum admissible concentration for drinking water.

This fact has a negative influence on the state of the health in the region. The following article is dealing with assessment of grounwater pollution, including mathematical metods of data processing.
