A body of rock that holds water which can

be classified into confined or unconfined


depending on their permeability.

Supplies most of the water that is used for


domestic, industrial and agricultural
purposes.
Aquifers replenish water through a process
called recharging.

Rainwater seeps through the permeable


cracks in the soil and refills the water that is
lost during this process.

Rapid use or pollution of aquifers can lead to


its deficiency which poses a lot of problems
both environmentally and industrially.
Happens when harmful
chemicals or products,
usually man-made get
into the groundwater
making it unsafe for
human use.
Degradation of household materials
Breeding ground for multiple microorganisms
to thrive and mutate
Examples such as Escherichia coli (E. coli),
Salmonella, and Shigella
Hydrocarbons and heavy metals can disrupt
the chemical composition of the compounds
in the soil.
Leads to poor infrastructures
Slower or Stoppage of plant growth and
productivity of cycle-fixing microorganisms
Wetlands and riparian zones receive massive
backlash
Endangers Marine life and overall habitat of
organisms
Leads to disorder of the ecological balance
with multiple living organisms
Prey can gain chemical imbalance due to
pollution of their sustenance, resulting in toxicity.
Spread of disease thrive in each consumer
results to decline in survival rate
Quality of produce is compromised and
population will lessen
Less food availability for consumption
Shift in economic balance causing
trading troubles
Water sources for consumption will
decline
Safety of recreational activity involving
bodies of water is compromised
Halting of tourism dependent sources
results in economic pull-downs
Overall societal anxiety increases
Formation of acid rain
Endangers species and infrastructures
with chemical precipitations
Efficiency of Nitrogen-fixing bacteria is
reduced
Disrupts ecological balance of the cycles
leading to conflicts to the ecosystem
Chemicals affecting pollution take a long
time to degrade
Endangers all living things
Disrupts the normalized domestic living
and the quality of natural resources
