Script:
The best way to avoid water pollution and health problems is to prevent pesticides from reaching the groundwater. Pesticides should be kept out of groundwater because of their potential effects on human health. Pesticide applicators can help to prevent groundwater contamination by choosing pesticides with the least potential for leaching into the groundwater and by using only necessary amounts of pesticides, following the label, avoiding spills, and using proper disposal methods.
