Artificial recharge of polluted water began years ago in The Netherlands, before any data concerning the behavior of organic chemicals in the soil were available. The current application of advanced analytical techniques is shedding new light on the potential of infiltration processes to remove chemical compounds from polluted raw waters and on the possible dangers of soil contamination in the recharge area. With these new insights, the reactions of organic chemicals--organic halogen compounds, organic nitrogen compounds, and odor-producing compounds--during the passage of water through the soil have gained not only a scientific but also a political impact. Includes 22 references, tables, figure.
