Abstract: | In a view to reduce the effect of groundwater pollution, many research works have been conducted and many are ongoing on the effect of agrochemical usage on groundwater quality. This has shown significant result so far and the effect needs to be further consolidated so that our environment can be safe and saved from destruction. It is for this reason that this paper is geared towards reviewing previous studies and bringing out converging results associated with agrochemical usage. First, the review describe and quantify agrochemicals in common usage, the ease with which crops uptake the chemicals and the interaction the excess will have on soil before it leaches to pollute groundwater. Then we review certain measures that have been proposed by researchers to check this menace. |
