==== Hazard maps for contaminated groundwater ==== Around one-third of the world's population drinks water from groundwater resources. Of this, about 10 percent, approximately 300 million people, obtains water from groundwater resources that are contaminated with unhealthy levels of arsenic or fluoride.<ref>Eawag (2015) Geogenic Contamination Handbook β Addressing Arsenic and Fluoride in Drinking Water.
