#ClimateChange has a direct impact on #groundwater. 💧 Natural groundwater recharge is affected 💧 Sea-level rises 💧 Saltwater enters coastal aquifers The threats are numerous and significant. I am groundwater. Preserve me 🙏 https://on.unesco.org/3tuDFzv | UNESCO

Groundwater Reservoir: Groundwater is the water present beneath Earth's surface in rock and soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations. About 30 percent of all readily available freshwater in the world is groundwater. A unit of rock or an unconsolidated deposit is called an aquifer when it can yield a usable quantity of water. The depth at which soil pore spaces or fractures and voids in rock become completely saturated with water is called the water table. Groundwater is recharged

#GroundwaterFacts | What is groundwater? Groundwater is water found underground in aquifers, which are geological formations of rocks, sands and gravels that hold substantial quantities of water. Groundwater feeds springs, rivers, lakes and wetlands, and seeps into oceans. Groundwater is recharged mainly from rain and snowfall infiltrating the ground. Groundwater can be extracted to the surface by pumps and wells. #WorldWaterDay | National Water Commission
