Groundwater Protection

Groundwater protection involves safeguarding underground water sources, like aquifers, which supply drinking water, agriculture, and industry. It includes preventing contamination from pollutants such as chemicals, waste, or spills that can seep into the ground. Proper land use, waste management, and regulated industrial practices help keep groundwater clean and safe. Protecting groundwater ensures the availability of safe water for current and future use, maintains environmental health, and supports ecosystems. It's a shared responsibility among communities, industries, and governments to prevent pollution and maintain the natural underground water systems.
