Due to the increase of population there is a natural increase for freshwater. Freshwater resources are suffering from the increase of demand so the alternative use of groundwater has increased.
Factors such as precipitation, surface geology, topography, land use practices, and groundwater extraction rates can affect the amount of groundwater in an area. Heavy rainfall can increase recharge of groundwater, while drought conditions can lower groundwater levels. Urbanization and agricultural activities can also impact the quality and quantity of groundwater through pollution and over-extraction.
The largest use of groundwater is for agricultural irrigation, accounting for the majority of global groundwater withdrawals. Groundwater is essential for maintaining crop production in regions where surface water is limited or unreliable.
The single greatest use of groundwater in the US is for irrigation in agriculture. Groundwater is a vital resource for crop production, especially in regions where surface water is limited or unreliable.
Yes, humans can use groundwater for various purposes such as drinking, agriculture, and industry. However, over-extraction of groundwater can lead to depletion of aquifers and other environmental issues. Sustainable management practices are important to ensure the long-term availability of groundwater resources.
Renewable groundwater is replenished through natural processes at a rate that is sustainable for human use, while nonrenewable groundwater is not replenished, or is replenished at a very slow rate compared to human consumption. Nonrenewable groundwater is often fossil water that has been stored underground for thousands to millions of years and is not easily replenished.

The term geologists use for underground water is groundwater.
Groundwater is used for growing plants, domestic use and manufacturing.
Yes. Farms, small communities and parks pump groundwater for public use.

Renewable groundwater is replenished through natural processes at a rate that is sustainable for human use, while nonrenewable groundwater is not replenished, or is replenished at a very slow rate compared to human consumption. Nonrenewable groundwater is often fossil water that has been stored underground for thousands to millions of years and is not easily replenished.
They Can Use Groundwater
Most groundwater is accessed through wells that are drilled into the ground to reach the water table. These wells typically use pumps to bring the water to the surface for use. Groundwater can also naturally seep to the surface in springs or be collected in ponds or lakes.
