ground water pollution
Ground water is the water found in spaces between soil particles and rocks, and within cracks of the bedrock. Some ground water can be found beneath the land surface in most of the US. Because of its availability and general good quality, ground water is widely used for household needs and other purposes.Ground water is found in natural rock formations, which are called aquifers. For the most part, ground water comes directly from precipitation or surface water that infiltrates below the land surface. Then, this ground water flows into many streams and lakes. In addition, ground water can be exiting from the subsurface as springs. But most commonly, we obtain ground water from wells. Most ground water is constantly moving, but it normally moves very slowly as it winds its way through tiny pathways around grains of sediment or through small openings in rock. Some rock materials have large enough fractures or openings that ground water can move faster; however, often, the openings do not continue very far. Ground water is an integral part of the hydrologic cycle, which starts with precipitation, such as rain and goes directly into lakes and streams. Some of the water, which seeps into the ground is used by plants for tran
