Underground water systems

Underground water systems, also known as aquifers, are layers of permeable rock, sediment, or soil that store and transmit water beneath the Earth's surface. They collect rainfall and surface water that seep down through the ground, filling these natural reservoirs. Aquifers are essential for providing fresh water to wells and springs, supporting agriculture, industry, and daily life. They are replenished through a process called recharge, when water from precipitation or surface sources filters down into the ground. Proper management of underground water systems is crucial for ensuring sustainable water supply and preventing issues like depletion and contamination.
