1. Pesticides: Agricultural pesticides are often used to control pests and weeds, but can end up contaminating ground water through runoff or leaching into the soil.
2. Sedimentation: Soil erosion from agricultural practices can lead to sedimentation in rivers and streams, affecting the quality of ground water.
3. Animal waste: Manure from livestock can contain harmful pathogens and nutrients that can seep into the ground water if not managed properly.
