Importance of Groundwater

Water is the essential natural resource for life on our planet and for the survival of almost all the species that inhabit it, including the human being. Therefore, this element is a good for any country and for its economy, as well as for the population. However, the fundamental problem is that human beings can only drink sweet water and this is a less abundant resource.

The freshwater reserves, especially the most important ones and those with the greatest amount of liquid, are groundwater, which is stored in large natural deposits through seepage of soils and rocks into these spaces or that also runs through different spaces interconnected.

Vast expanses of groundwater are known in many countries, which are jealously guarded and protected from any type of problem that may affect them. This is essential to take into account since any alteration of the water, whether due to contamination, human manipulation or, simply, because Some type of natural activity occurs on the ground that modifies it, it can make all this volume of liquid finally useful for consumption human.

Currently there is no pressing problem of this resource, with the exception of countries in which the temperature affects the surface of the territory, like Africans. Still, groundwater, even in these countries, is essential to avoid total desertification thanks to these water resources. The chances that the human being may have problems in the future are much lower.

That is why it is very important that human beings are aware that the essential resources for their own existence are limited and that the only way to have them, to increase and use them, is to keep them as they are and, above all, to protect them from any problem that could contaminate them and render them useless as a vital source of life.
