           - an area where vegetation will not grow.

           - water well contamination by saltwater(brine), crude oil or natural gas
 Saltwater contamination may increase water hardness or inhibit freezing. Crude oil may appear as either a thick layer or thin "rainbow" sheen on the water surface. Natural gas in a water well may be signaled by:

          - a natural gas odor at the tap
          - bubbling in the water
