What else can I help you with?
A pump is not used to raise groundwater to the surface in areas where artesian wells are located becasue the water in artesian wells is?
under high pressure
Is often groundwater must be be pumped to the surface To be used?
Groundwater does not have to be pumped to the surface to use, although that would seem the most logical way to get access to it. It has no difference on the make up of the water, or the purity.
How is groundwater used?
Aquifers are used for animal and human drinking water supply, for agricultural irrigation, lawn watering, in manufacturing, sanitation, and any other use of water which one can conceive of.
Which term is used to describe groundwater rising to the surface due to pressure in the aquifer?
artesian well
Why do you thank fossils are found near areas where there used to be water?
because most fossils are sea creatures, that are by the sea :)
Salt water from the ocean may seep into the groundwater in coastal areas if?
groundwater is used faster than it is replaced
How do people reach groundwater?
People reach groundwater by drilling or digging wells into the ground until they reach the level at which water is stored underground. The depth at which groundwater is found can vary depending on the location and geology of the area. Once a well is built, a pump is used to bring the groundwater to the surface for use.
What is most of the groundwater in the US used for?
Most of the groundwater in the US is used for irrigation in agricultural activities. This accounts for the largest proportion of groundwater withdrawals for various crops like corn, soybeans, and fruits.
Is groundwater being replaced faster than it is being used?
It depends on the specific location and rate of groundwater extraction. In some areas, groundwater is being extracted faster than it is being replaced, leading to depletion of aquifers. Sustainable water management practices, such as reducing water usage and promoting groundwater recharge, are vital to ensure the long-term availability of groundwater resources.
What are ways people use groundwater?
People use groundwater for drinking water supply, irrigation in agriculture, industrial processes, and recreation activities such as swimming and boating. Groundwater is also used for geothermal energy extraction and as a source of mineral water.

Why do nitrates contaminate many wells in agricultural areas?
Nitrates are used as agricultural fertilisers and being soluble, if overused, the excess nitrates end up contaminating the local groundwater. Most farmers have tended to overuse fertilizers.
What is a shaft in the ground used to remove groundwater?
A WELL is a shaft in the ground used to remove groundwater
What are three ways in which groundwater is used?
Groundwater is used for growing plants, domestic use and manufacturing.
Why do you think it is important to keep groundwater free of dangerous chemicals?
It is important to keep groundwater free of dangerous chemicals for several reasons. For example, most groundwater is used for drinking water for humans, or other animals, and some animals live in the water, and they should not be harmed by dangerous chemicals.
What happens to ground water as people use it?
When people use groundwater, the water level in the aquifer can drop, leading to a depletion of the resource. This can cause land subsidence, saltwater intrusion in coastal areas, and drying up of wells or springs. Groundwater recharge may not be enough to replenish the water being extracted, leading to long-term depletion.
