🕑 Reading time: 1 minute Groundwater is an important natural resource. The precipitation infiltrates into the ground and travels down until it reaches the impervious stratum where it is stored as groundwater. It is stored in the pores present in the geological formations such as soil, rock, sand, etc. Types of Geological Formations of Groundwater […]

Scientists have warned that future generations could have to face the impact of climate change on groundwater as it could take 100 years for it to be felt in many parts of the world.

Scientists report that it could take 100 years for the world's groundwater supplies to respond to climate change, potentially leaving populations without water.

Groundwater is the water found underground in the cracks and spaces in soil, sand, and rock. It is stored in and moves slowly through geologic formations

A huge amount of water exists in the ground below your feet, and people all over the world make great use of it. But it is only found in usable quantities in certain places underground — aquifers. Read on to understand the concepts of aquifers and how water exists in the ground.

Students use interactive computational models to explore the relationship between infiltration and recharge in natural and urbanized areas. They investigate how human development has changed the natural flow of water. Students explore the transfer of water from one aquifer to another and propose solutions to allow for water extracted from wells to recharge the aquifers from which they came.

As a non-existent proverb states: "Humans don't live by surface water alone." For thousands of years, people have also relied on groundwater to serve their every need. Groundwater is invaluable for many uses, from irrigation to drinking-water supply. But, you can't see groundwater, so how do water scientists know where it is in order to be able to drill wells and pump it out for use?

When the term “renewable resource” comes to mind, many think of wind, solar power, or even geothermal vents. However, one of the most important renewable resource our communities and all of life…
