Natural contaminants are more prevalent than human-made contaminants in California groundwater used for public supply, is the conclusion of a decade-long study by U.S. Geological Survey scientists. The study evaluated the quality of nearly all of the groundwater used for public supply in California and is the most comprehensive assessment of groundwater in any state to date. Groundwater provides about one-third of California's drinking supply in a typical year, but more during drought conditions.There is more uranium and arsenic in the water supplies than nitrates (from fertilizers) and various organics.

Ice mountains 10000 ft (slightly less than 2 miles) high.
And no impact craters which implies enough geologic activity to smooth out the surface.
