In order to survive, you have to maintain a source of water. The human body can become dehydrated when we do not have enough water. The result is headaches, dizziness and irritability or fatigue. It can even lead to death if it is not addressed. Some statistics show that over half of the world’s population is dependent on groundwater in order for water supply. Recent droughts might have caused this figure to rise. This is particularly true for locations such as California. Groundwater, however, isn’t all the time a guaranteed source. In this video, you will learn more about groundwater depletion.

Groundwater refers to water found under cracks or in chasms in the earth. It is normally extracted by pumps or wells. It’s hard to comprehend and evaluate because it’s beneath the ground. Most people do not realize that there is an issue with their ground water until it is far too far too late. In many cases, groundwater is polluted by nearby agricultural or industrial activities. The groundwater we drink can go away for an extended period. It is essential to take care to protect this important resource and are aware of the ways in which our actions may be affecting the water supply.
