TAPPING GDOUNDWATER




Some 97% of liquid freshwater is stored underground in aquifers. People especially in rural areas, are increasingly dependent on groundwater – up to 2 billion people, a third of the world’s population, rely on it.

 

Drinking groundwater
Region % of drinking water from groundwater People served (millions)
Asia   1.000 to 2.000
Europe   200 to 500
Latin America    
United States    
Australia    
Africa no data no data
World   1.500 to 2.000

 

Aquifers are most severely depleted

in parts of India, China, the US, North Africa and the Middle East. It can take centuries for aquifers to recharge, so the world is currently running from human and farm animal waste, naturally occurring toxins, as well as the over 10 million different synthetic chemicals in use today.
