For an introductory college-level physical geology class: a review of how groundwater contributes to freshwater supplies, how it moves through aquifers, and how it is impacted by the permeability and porosity of the ground. We also discuss what happens when wells are drilled into aquifers of varying kinds and the results of over pumping of water. We end with a comparison with oil and gas migration. In particular, we review the consequences of porosity and permeability of under-surface rocks on oil and gas reservoirs, including a brief review of hydraulic fracturing or "fracking."

Content within is based on information available in any standard introductory college geology textbook, such as Essentials of Geology -- Tarbuck and Lutgens -- Pearson Publishing.

I'm surprised this channel has so few subscribers. These videos have the clearest explanations I've found anywhere on the internet.

Ai what system tells you best when to stop pumping water out so the aquifer can charge preventing the aquifer from drying and the land collapsing squashing the rock

You forgot to calculate water in the air! Clouds have tonns of fresh water! And high clouds contain a tiny ice particles (bigger water resourse than water clouds) 😊

Ground water makes 30% of the worlds 3% fresh water ai how can we extend ground water?
