Groundwater Protection and Public Water Supply
The need for a sustainable supply of high quality groundwater is crucial to the infrastructure of the UK in terms of its economy, health, community and environment, without sustainable groundwater resources all of these would suffer. Abstraction from groundwater is an essential part of the public water supply system in the UK, contributing around a third of supply. In the major supply aquifers groundwater abstractors are generally able to rely on a plentiful supply of water at a consistently high quality. Groundwater also interacts with surface water, providing the base flow for many rivers and sustaining important wetlands. However, there are an increasing number of threats to this precious resource, urbanization, industrial growth, and widespread intensive agricultural activity all have a serious potential impact upon aquifer water levels and groundwater quality.
