Groundwater is a very important natural resource and has a significant role in the economy. It is the main source of water for irrigation and the food industry.
There are three major kinds of groundwater systems--conventional, coastal, and karst systems. Missouri is underlain with a mix of conventional and karst groundwater systems. Both systems can exist even in one location, but at different depths.
Irrigation accounts for the largest use of groundwater in the United States. Some 57.2 billion gallons of groundwater are used daily for agricultural irrigation from 475,796 wells. In 1900, the U.S. used only 2.2 billion gallons of groundwater daily for irrigation from 17,000 wells.
