Management of Groundwater Resources

  • Chapter
Groundwater

Abstract

Groundwater plays a major life support to mankind. It is the major source to meet the domestic, irrigation and industrial demands. Groundwater occurs in a wide range of rock types and usually requires little or no treatment; therefore, it is often the cheapest and simplest water supply option.
