    Groundwater comes from rain and snowmelt that seeps underground, filling the spaces between soil and rock particles. It is an important natural resource, supplying 33% of water for households and businesses. Natural groundwater is subject to increasing demand, so management strategies like artificial recharge, aquifer storage and recovery, and bank filtration are used. Major sources of groundwater contamination include agricultural chemicals, septic waste, landfills, and atmospheric pollutants. Ways to protect groundwater involve reducing chemical use, managing waste, conserving water, and using natural alternatives.

    GROUNDWATER

    MANAGEMENT
    SPEAKER: CHAN MARIE C. PIELAGO
    What is Groundwater?

     Groundwater comes from rain and snowmelt that seeps into the ground. Gravity
    pulls the water down through the spaces between particles of soil or through
    cracks in rocks. Eventually the water reaches a depth where all openings in soil
    or rock are filled with water; this is called the saturated zone. The water in the
    saturate zone is called groundwater.
    What is the importance of Groundwater?

     Groundwater, which is in aquifers below the surface of the Earth, is one of


    the Nation's most important natural resources. Groundwater is the source
    of about 33 percent of the water that county and city water departments
    supply to households and businesses.
    Groundwater Management
     Natural groundwater resources are subject to steadily
    increasing water demand for agriculture, domestic and
    industrial use. Up-to-date management strategies include
    artificial recharge, aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) and
    bank filtration.
    Artificial Recharge

     Artificial recharge is a process by which excess surface water is


    directed into the ground—either by spreading on the surface, by
    using recharge wells, or by altering natural conditions to increase
    infiltration—to replenish an aquifer.
    Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR)
     Aquifer Storage and Recovery, or ASR, is the injection of treated drinking water
    into an aquifer for later recovery and use.
    Bank Filtration
     Bank filtration is a type of filtration that works by passing water to
    be purified for use as drinking water through the Banks of a river or
    lake.
    MAJOR SOURCES OF GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION

     Agricultural Chemicals
     Septic Waste
     Landfills
     Atmospheric Pollutants
     Underground Pipes
    WAYS TO PROTECT AND CONSERVE GROUNDWATER

     Go Native
     Reduce Chemical Use
     Manage Waste
     Don't Let It Run
     Fix the Drip
     Wash Smarter
     Water Wisely
     Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
     Natural Alternatives
     Learn and Do More!
