Explanation:

Ground - water can be polluted by chemicals leaching from the overlying soil, which is a major environmental issue. Evaporation is not a typical major issue as the water is underground, and groundwater temperatures are not high enough to turn to steam upon use.

Answer:

It may become contaminated with organic and inorganic chemicals that come from the soil above.
