How can we ensure that drinking water derived from groundwater of select aquifers, lakes, and rivers is acceptable for human consumption?

Instructions
As an environmental scientist working as a researcher for a contract research organization (CRO), your organization has been hired by a local university’s environmental science department to consider a number of potential research studies for their undergraduate research program. Specifically, your supervisor has asked that you consider this specific research question:
“How can we ensure that drinking water derived from groundwater of select aquifers, lakes, and rivers is acceptable for human consumption?”
You have been asked to present a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation to the university on a suggested general research design to address this unique environmental health research question. In your presentation, you will need to include the information below.
Title slide
Research question restated as a problem statement
Identification of what possible human health impacts may exist for humans using these sources as drinking water resources
Identification of what possible environmental health impacts may exist for the environment using these sources as drinking water resources
How to determine appropriate sampling locations
How to appropriately sample any water or soil matrices
Suggested laboratory test list for any water or soil samples
Suggested regulatory limits with which to compare against the analyzed sample results
References slide
You are required to include a minimum of one slide for each bulleted item, but the presentation must consist of at least 12 slides, not counting the title slide and reference slides. Also, you are required to use your textbook, two peer-reviewed scholarly articles, and one national environmental agency’s published regulatory limits in your research. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment.
