Groundwater is a common source of drinking supply in Australias arid zone. The constituents in groundwater can limit its use either for drinking or for other domestic purposes. This paper discusses those constituents. It also highlights popular misconceptions about water-quality problems associated with groundwater, and encourages radical rethinking to ensure that people in the arid zone can use available water supplies appropriately to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
