Developing nations in addition to other economic problems have severe groundwater problems. Some of these problems may stem from non-sanitized sewage and improper waste disposal to increase nitrate in water. Also, in coastal regions, uncontrolled drilled wells, deep well injection, and effect of uncontrolled growth and urbanization are affecting water quality. The session addresses groundwater issues, application of appropriate technology, solutions, and case studies of groundwater pollution in developing nations.
