Groundwater Pumping

Summary

The gradual decline of water supplies or the direct lack of water in various parts of the world has caused water to become more and more in the forefront of the interest of professionals and the general public in all countries in recent years. With the development of industry, agriculture and the growth of living standards, water consumption is growing, but so is the pollution of surface and groundwater by industry, mining, construction and agriculture. The object of interest of this subject is therefore to ensure the supply of quality drinking and utility water and to determine protective measures against their pollution, which are already directly related to the protection of the environment as a whole. The issue of groundwater abstraction is one of the fields of applied hydrogeology. It represents a large area, including groundwater abstraction for water supply, land reclamation and groundwater abstraction in drainage in construction and mining.
