	The quality of groundwater in the Chalk aquifer of Yorkshire and Humberside is very variable due to a number of geochemical processes. The Chalk groundwater is generally hard and the unconfined areas have been impacted by seawater intrusion and human activities, such as pollution from agriculture. Groundwater in the confined and semi-confined sections of the aquifer has some protection from the effects of pollution.
