Humans are impacted by Earth processes and by their activities have an impact on Earth. Environmental geology is the study of the interactions between humans and their geologic environment: rocks, water, air, soil and life. Geologists and hydro geologists contribute information about the subsurface soil and rock permeability, ground water movement, where contamination has moved and characterise subsurface conditions that will determine how to remove and control chemicals to meet a safe level of risk. It deals with the prevention, analysis and correction of interactions between human activities and natural systems, in terms of natural and cultural resources, environmental impacts including impacts on geological heritage, managing industrial and domestic waste disposal and minimizing or eliminating effects of pollution geological hazards and environmental land use planning and management. It approaches the groundwater pollution problem by creating objectives when monitoring. It is often applied to some well known environmental issues including population growth, mining, diminishing resources, and global land use.
