Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bioremediation of contaminated groundwater involves introducing nutrients into the contaminated area to stimulate the growth of microbes that can break down the contaminants. This process can help to clean up the groundwater over time. The introduction of lab-cultured viruses or using contaminated groundwater to irrigate genetically modified crops are not effective methods of bioremediation.
