Answer:
What is Ground water?
Groundwater is the water present beneath Earth's surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations. A unit of rock or an unconsolidated deposit is called an aquifer when it can yield a usable quantity of water.
Sources of Ground water in India:
India also relies excessively on groundwater resources, which accounts for over 50 percent of irrigated area with 20 million tube wells installed.
# India has built nearly 5,000 major or medium dams
# barrages, etc. to store the river waters and enhance ground water recharging.
# Water resources in India includes information on precipitation, surface and groundwater storage and hydro power potential.
Major Sources of Groundwater Contamination :
*Agricultural Chemicals: Agricultural production has been scaled up in most developed nations.
*Septic Waste. It is essential that septic waste is treated before it is disposed into the ground.
*Landfills.
*Hazardous Waste Sites.
*Storage Tanks.
*Atmospheric Pollutants.
