The inter‐relationships between an industrial plant and a shallow sand aquifer of glacial origin are described. These relationships include industrial and potable water supplies, industrial and human waste water disposal systems, the hydraulics of the pollution of the ground‐water aquifer and the types of corrective actions taken to re‐establish the wise use of the ground‐water resource. Also reviewed are the ground‐water movement‐quality relationship, well designs, method of drilling, well redevelopment and ground‐water recharge.
