GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Submersible Pumps are the most commonly used pumps for deep private wells. The pumping unit is placed inside the well casing and connected to a power source on the surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -How do we get groundwater? Water in aquifers may be brought to the surface naturally through a spring, or can be discharged into lakes and streams. However, most groundwater is brought to the surface by pumping it through a well (which draws the water like soda through a straw) that is drilled into the aquifer.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wells are used to access groundwater for drinking and irrigation, to monitoring aquifer health, to provide geothermal energy for heating and cooling, and to collect geologic information.

Detailed explanation-4: -Water in aquifers is brought to the surface naturally through a spring or can be discharged into lakes and streams. Groundwater can also be extracted through a well drilled into the aquifer. A well is a pipe in the ground that fills with groundwater. This water can be brought to the surface by a pump.

Detailed explanation-5: -Most groundwater originates as meteoric water from precipitation in the form of rain or snow. If it is not lost by evaporation, transpiration or to stream runoff, water from these sources may infiltrate into the ground.
