Why is groundwater important?
Groundwater is said to be a wonderful hidden resource. Reminiscent of the image of vast, pure, untouched underground rivers and lakes flowing from distant places. In fact, groundwater is very different. It's like saturated sponge water that slowly moves through the earth's pores and crevices and is locally replenished.
Most of the freshwater available is groundwater. Groundwater is an important source of our drinking water and streams. Most of our groundwater supply is clean, but endangered and threatened by human negligence.
Fiction about Groundwater
There are many myths that are instilled in human mind such as groundwater is inexhaustible, it will never end.
Another myth revolves around the movement of groundwater like it moves in strange and unknown ways. People think that spring water is always pure which is not always true. Groundwater moves over the long distance of the earth.
Facts
Ground-water usage can exceed supply and streams and fountains can be depleted. Groundwater can be checked for quality purposes.It can be polluted like all water. Itis locally charged by the amount of precipitation that falls on the surrounding land area. GW travels more than a few miles, but it can take years to get there.
What can you do to reduce pollution?
Groundwater pollution can last for years and is difficult and expensive to clean up. It is important to avoid pollution. We encourage you to see how you can help.

Proper installation and maintenance of a system for treating and disposing of domestic wastewater can minimize the impact of that system on groundwater and surface water. State and local regulations regulate how sewer systems are designed, installed, and maintained.
Septic tank/soil absorption system: Most common system
The most common form of on-site wastewater treatment is septic tank/soil absorption systems. In this system, wastewater from the sewer flows into the underground septic tank.
Once in the tank, the system works as follows:
Waste components are isolated. Heavy solids (sludge) settle down, and fats and fatty substances (foam) rise upwards. Bacteria break down solids and partially liquefy them. Baffles are placed in the tank to maximize solids retention, prevent clogging of inlets and outlets, and prevent rapid wastewater flow through the tank.
Another liquid part (sewage) flows through the outlet to the soil absorption site. Absorption fields usually consist of a series of parallel trenches (fingers), each trench containing a manifold or tile embedded in gravel or rock in the drainage field. Wastewater escapes through holes in pipes or joints between tile sections and then flows down to the ground through gravel or rock outflow fields. The soil is filtered out of the remaining small solids and pathogens (pathogenic microorganisms), and the dissolved substances slowly infiltrate the groundwater.
Reduce the amount of wastewater generated from each household
Minimize household drainage. It is important to reduce the amount of wastewater flowing into the treatment system, as lower flow rates or volumes improve treatment, extend system life, and reduce the risk of overflow. For storage tanks, smaller capacities reduce costs because the tanks do not need to be emptied frequently.
Reduce concentration of contaminants
Reduce the concentration and amount of pollutants in wastewater and expand your options for proper disposal. Low pressure piping systems use small diameter pipes in shallow, narrow trenches that come into direct contact with the ground. The system is administered under pressure through the pump chamber after the septic tank.
