Hydrogeology - The Science of Groundwater
-
Description
-
Hydrogeology is the scientific study of groundwater, focusing on how water moves through geological formations, primarily rocks. Groundwater is a crucial resource, being the largest source of fresh water globally, supplying 85% of rural and 50% of urban water needs. It often exists beneath the surface and can be accessed easily, even in residential areas. This resource acts as a natural filtration system, typically maintaining good quality and stable temperatures. However, groundwater is fragile and sensitive to overuse and contamination, making it essential to understand its properties and distribution through scientific study.
