Ground water is water contained in soil or rock layer below the soil surface. Ground water is one of the water resources are relatively limited and the damage can lead to high impact and recovery difficult.
In addition to river water and rain water, ground water also has a very important role especially in maintaining the balance and availability of raw material water for household purposes (domestic) or for industrial purposes. In some areas, dependence on clean water supplies and ground water has reached ± 70%.
Damage to water sources
Damage to water resources can not be separated from damage such as damage to surrounding land, vegetation and population pressures. These three issues are interrelated in affecting the availability of water resources.
This state of affairs of course need to be observed at an early stage, so as not to cause damage to groundwater in surrounding areas. Several factors are causing the problems are:
- Rapid industrial growth in an area along with residential growth will lead to the tendency of increase in demand for ground water.
- Use a variety of water so different in interests, purposes and how to obtain sources of water.
- Need to change the attitude of most people who tend to be wasteful in water use traditional as well as neglecting the element of conservation.
