Answer:

Hey hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

Water pollution - the surface water runoff and the groundwater close to a construction site become polluted with various materials used in the construction work. ... In fact, both groundwaters below your home and surface runoff close to your home may constitute a source of pollution emanating from the construction sites.
