A study by Kerala's groundwater department in 2007 had traced toxic chemicals in the groundwater at the Pepsi plant in Pudussery panchayat in the arid Palakkad district. The report said, the factory has exploited groundwater resources and it can't be allowed to draw more than 234,000 litres of groundwater per day. The present allotted water intake is 600,000 litres. A committee was formed on April 2007 under the direction of the Kerala high court on a Pepsi petition against the panchayat's decision to revoke its licence. Analysing water samples from the factory site, the committee has found presence of calcium, magnesium, chloride and sodium in them. Though the chemical content in the effluents released by the plant is within pcb limits, the committee has found they seep into groundwater due to unscientific management of effluents. Identify two components of the PESTEL model from the above case study.
