Renewable Groundwater

Renewable groundwater is underground water that's naturally replenished through the process of rainfall and surface water seeping into the ground. It’s a sustainable resource because, with proper management, the amount of water extracted is balanced by natural recharge. This means it can be used repeatedly over time without depleting the supply, unlike non-renewable resources. However, over-extraction or pollution can diminish its availability and quality. Proper protection and responsible use are essential to ensure renewable groundwater remains a reliable source for drinking, agriculture, and industry.
