Groundwater is the largest source of fresh water on earth which is secretly stored beneath the surface of earth. We use groundwater for
irrigation, drinking, municipal uses, factory uses etc. Other supplies of fresh water from rainfall or lakes or springs are highly dependent
upon the weather and atmospheric temperature. Rain water cannot be obtained except rainy seasons. The lakes and streams may dry in
summers. But ground water is such a source that we can fulfill our requirements throughout the year. Thus we highly depend upon
groundwater for our daily necessities.
