Why is much of the water that comes out of your faucet recycled water?
Depending on the part of the country, your faucet water may be blended with recaptured, treated water. In Arizona, the populations of the cities have depleted ground water and aquifers which were the source for the wells.
Why is ground water important source of water?
Aquifers supply our underground water reserves, from which we harvest a large portion of our drinking water. Further, most underground water is ready for consumption and requires little in the way of purification costs. Also, underground water is often tapped for agricultural uses: for animals and for crop irrigation, although this practice is drawing more and more criticism as our reserves are depleted.
What causes well water to over flow?
Some environmental agent as to increase the underground aquifer level. Maybe too much rain.

Why does removing too much water from aquifers result in substance?
removing too much water from aquifers can result in subsidence because the
Aquifer in a sentence?
(An aquifer is an underground strata containing water.) The increase in agriculture in the valley depleted much of the water in the aquifer. An aquifer can provide water for land that is not near a body of water.
How much is fresh water underground?
By 2% it means 2% of the entire earth's water is fresh water and the rest is salt water, mineral water, etc. the two percent are the lakes, streams, rivers, aquifers, and yes, groundwater- any source of fresh water on the earth...it makes me suddenly feel thirsty
What are aquifers generally used for?
The aquifers are generally used in distilling(i.e. purifying indirectly) the water and are also used as artificial source of an alternative of lake or river. It brings so much attraction to visitors.
Why is there a worldwide shortage of freshwater?
The population of the world has been steadily growing for the past few centuries, and the consumption of water has been steadily growing, and the supply of water has not been steadily growing, if anything it is shrinking since some aquifers are being exhausted, and it takes much longer for aquifers to become replenished by natural sources, than the speed with which water is extracted from them by means of wells. Some sources of fresh water have also become polluted by human industrial waste or effluents. More and more people are consuming more and more resources, yet the planet Earth is not getting any larger.
Is underground water much more widely distributed than surface water?
true
How did people get water long ago?
From lakes and rivers and (much later) wells.
What is an important water source in the United Arab Emirates?
There are no naturally occurring surface water sources in the UAE, it is a desert. There are some underground aquifers, but most of these are now over used or contaminated by saltwater (sea). Fresh water for drinking is provided by coastal desalination plants which convert sea water to potable (drinking quality) water. Much of the irrigated "green space" around and through Dubai is provided by STP water or "grey-water" from the sewerage recycling plants.

How much chlorine does well water contain?
None, unless it is added to the water. Private wells are not usually chlorinated.
Why do towns have an impact on the water table?
Mostly towns sink wells for drinking water. If they draw off too much water for precipitation, etc. to refill then they cause the water table to fall and the wells will be drilled deeper and the water table will fall more.
