Short description Almost 30% of the population in the United States depends on water from wells. Protecting these water supplies is a crucial matter of public health. The problem is that soil and groundwater contain many populations of microorganisms, and the growth, metabolism, and ecology of these microorganisms have major consequences in determining the geochemical environment.
