Water found underground has often been naturally filtered as its passed through sediment and soil. This removes and traps many kinds of debris and contaminants often found in water. Groundwater, in most cases, is fresh and safe for use in irrigation, livestock water, fish ponds, and other applications. To be sure of this, a water testing kit can be used to verify what chemicals and nutrients are or aren't in your groundwater.
Groundwater is used all over the world as drinking water. Wells across the globe pump water from underground aquifers and into our homes or communities. Overuse of groundwater can have serious consequences as too much water is discharged before the aquifer has a chance to recharge. Depleted aquifers can cut off many peoples source of clean water, as well as cause lakes and rivers to dry up as the water table drops.
