Hello

Groundwater is the water which is present underground in vast aquifers and must be pumped out of the ground after drilling a deep well.

Whereas , Surface water is the water found on the surface of the earth as found in lakes, rivers, and streams and is drawn into the public water supply by an intake.


Some of the factors responsible for water degradation are-



  • Sewage water dumped directly in water bodies
  • Industrial waste
  • Oil pollution
  • Acid Rain
  • Eutrophication.

Thank you
