Soil and water remediation refers to the process of cleaning and restoring contaminated soil and water resources. This is often necessary due to pollution from industrial activities, agricultural runoff, or waste disposal. Techniques such as bioremediation, which uses microorganisms to break down pollutants, and chemical treatments are commonly employed to remove harmful substances. Effective remediation helps protect ecosystems and human health by ensuring that soil and water are safe for use. It also plays a crucial role in sustainable development, allowing for the recovery of land and water bodies that have been degraded by contaminants, thus supporting biodiversity and public health.
