Depletion Of Groundwater And The Rise Of Population

Undoubtedly, Groundwater plays a significant role in California water supply. During a normal year, 30% of the state 's water supply comes from groundwater. In times of extreme drought, groundwater consumption can rise to 60% or more. Even though groundwater is more evenly distributed, over half of the groundwater is unable to be extracted due to the high pumping cost. The largest groundwater reservoirs are found in the Central Valley, with the majority of the supply existing as runoff that seeps into the aquifer.

The Earth is a huge planet this is covered by 70 percent water. Astonishingly from this 70 percent the human population can only use 1 percent of the world’s water the rest of it is salt water, frozen, or in some way unattainable (Santa Clara Valley Water District, 2016). Humans have found many different ways to obtain this 1 percent of fresh water they need, but the techniques vary depending on location. In San Jose, California we obtain our water from 3 major sources: groundwater, imported surface water, and local mountain surface water. These 3 sources contribute different amounts of water to the San Jose community. Imported surface water composes about 50 percent of our water supply, while ground water composes roughly 40 percent, and local mountain surface water composes approximately 10 percent (Santa Jose Water Company, 2016). However, these percentages can change due to factors such as weather and global warming.

The earth is like a living organism; it thrives full of life with a fragile balance. This balance has been thrown off by many different things. Water seems to be one of the biggest problems with this offset balance. Water is a magic liquid keeping all of life thriving. Humans drink and use water, plants use water, water is used in everyday life, and it’s slowly being taken away. In the future, there will be no water left to sustain life on earth.

Sometimes, when people say the Earth, people say it is the planet of water because 70 percent of elements are water in the Earth and it is the only planet that has water in the Universe. However, 99 percent of water is salt water and people cannot use it for people’s life. The only 1 percent of water can be used for people’s life. People live with water and people need the water for people’s life, so people should protect the water and people should prevent water pollution.

From my point of view, our world needs to use the groundwater for something useful for citizens in the world. However, a very beneficial way to use the groundwater would be allowing the citizens to pull up as much groundwater they desire to cook food, and for their hygiene. Without the proper hygiene, such as brushing your teeth, or showering can result in horrible health issues.

When I was little, one of my teachers in elementary school said “you can only live for a few days without water.” The notion of living without earth’s most precious gift, however, never occurred to me. It was beyond my realm of thought that one day we may be facing its scarcity.

Groundwater pollution is a major problem that is growing in all over the world. Of course the united states America also facing this problem. People of Mississippi State are worried about groundwater pollution due to the several human activities. Groundwater is a main source of their water supply. Disposal of solid waste in landfills is an economic option for many municipalities in developing countries where alternatives like incineration and composting are costly. However, groundwater pollution from the leachate generated within the landfill and migrating through the bottom liner material into the underlying groundwater aquifers remains a major public health concern I studied chemical parameters of groundwater in Alcorn State University as a part of my project.

Groundwater overuse Is when the soil collapses, compacts,and drops.Don’t use use it too much it could affect stuff. It could lead to saltwater becoming contaminated.It can cause some major stuff to happen. Don’t let it affect the oceans. If the saltwater got contaminated it would affect the animals and the plants under the water. The wildlife under the water would be dead because of someone using groundwater .

Water is considered as an essential for human existence. We all can survive without food for some day but no one can live without water at least two days. Human body consists of 70% percent of water and our globe is covered by 69.9% percent of water. But unfortunately the useable fresh water is just 2.5% out of it. Water is a social good, water is an economic good, water has ecological value and water has religious, moral and cultural value.

Water covers 70% of our planet, and it is easy to think that it will always be plentiful. However, freshwater, what we drink, bathe in, irrigate our farm fields with makes up only 3% of the world’s water, and two-thirds of that is stored in frozen glaciers or unavailable for our use. Many of the water systems that keep ecosystems thriving and feed a growing human population have become stressed. Rivers, lakes and aquifers are drying up or becoming too polluted to use. Already, 80 countries suffer from water shortages that threaten health and economies while 40 percent of the world—more than 2 billion people—does not have access to clean water or sanitation

“Freshwater accounts for only 3 percent of Earth’s water; the rest is in the oceans” (Weeks 533). As members of the global community, humans need to understand the impact of contaminating and wasting water. Even though it may seem like there is an abundance of water for human use that is definitely not the case.

Water covers over seventy percent of earth’s surface, but only about three percent of that water is available for human use as freshwater. The main source of freshwater is permanent ice sheets,

The groundwater storage has been depleted through the various sources of human consumption. In many places the quality of groundwater became a concern that can harm human health because of the overexploitation as well as contamination. Without a constant source of water human survival can be threatened. Therefore, methods of supplying fresh water such as desalination processes have become very popular and widely studied because of

Water is the lifeblood of every living creature on earth. Approximately 70 percent of the earth's surface is covered with water. Thought the wonders of nature, water can take on many different forms, form the water we drink, to the ice we use to chill a glass of lemonade, to the water vapor used to steam clean equipment equipment. It is easy to understand the significance water plays in our lives, but it may be much more difficult ot understand the water that exists below the earth's surface, called groundwater.

Water is our main source of our life. We need it to live, drink, bathe,
