As Ground Pollution is produced most of the time by environmentally damaging facilities, I recommend that you shift to eco-friendly ones such as Solar Power Plants.
How to Avoid Producing Ground Pollution
Apart from shifting to and prioritizing eco-friendly facilities, you can avoid the production of Ground Pollution in your city by having an Industrial Waste Processing Facility installed. The reason for that lies in how leaving uncollected trash lying around for a long time will also generate it. If you cannot avoid the use of facilities capable of generating the hazard, make sure to keep them out of your more populated areas so that you can avoid its propagation and maintain a healthy environment for your residents.
