The situation of groundwater contamination in cities at home and abroad was reviewed,the main factors which affected groundwater contamination in cities was introduced,and the prevention and control technologies of urban groundwater contamination was expounded emphatically,which mainly included electromagnetic monitoring technology,pollutant tracer technology,alternative monitoring index technology,permeable reactive barriers repair technology,aeration technology,chemical remediation technology,heat treatment technology,bioremediation technology,etc.Cla:lfying the future hotspot direction of urban groundwater pollution research will be the urban groundwater organic pollution,especially gas station underground storage tank leakage pollution.Research and development on multi-stage groundwater system should be the hot topic in the future in China.Biological repairing technology for urban groundwater pollution would be the key direction in the future research of groundwater pollution repairing technology.
