Ground water is water which lies in an aquifer below ground surface. Major aquifers are generally contained in deposits of gravel or other highly porous alluvial material. Aquifers are recharged by seepage from bodies of water and by precipitation. Some aquifers, such as the Ogallala Aquifer beneath the Great Plains of North America, contain water from earlier wetter periods. Intensive withdrawal from such aquifers may exceed the rate of recharge, water mining.

  • Ground water is water which lies in an aquifer below ground surface. Major aquifers are generally contained in deposits of gravel or other highly porous alluvial material. Aquifers are recharged by seepage from bodies of water and by precipitation. Some aquifers, such as the Ogallala Aquifer beneath the Great Plains of North America, contain water from earlier wetter periods. Intensive withdrawal from such aquifers may exceed the rate of recharge, water mining. On a global basis pumping of ground water is unregulated and unmonitored. However, widespread depletion of aquifers has increased interest in water management of ground water. As of 2013 satellite monitoring of ground water had become possible making physical access unnecessary. Data showed substantial depletion of ground water resources in the Middle East.
