3. liquid waste me directly into the ground water

Explanation:

Aquifer is a layer of water which is present inside the soil at a certain depth. There are certain areas where water is added to the aquifer and maintain the water level. These aquifers were polluted if liquid waste is dumped in these aquifer recharge areas and when this water is extracted through wells so health of both plants and animals are adversely affected. So for that reason liquid waste should not be dumped in recharge areas of aquifer.
