Human Impacts on the Sustainability of Groundwater 
Purpose 
The aim of the laboratory activity is to find the impact of human development on groundwater 
resources. It will help us to determine how development of human has caused an impact on 
sustainability of ground water 
Introduction 
Groundwater is one of the most important sources of drinking water all around the world and is 
important for rivers, lakes as well as for agricultural and economic development of a nation 
(Alley, W.M., Healey, R.W., LaBaugh, J.W. & Reilly, T.E. (2002). Aprroximately 3% of the 
Earth is covered by freshwater and the rest is saline water. About 30.1% of the freshwater is 
available as ground water, 68.7% is stored in ice caps and glaciers, and 0.3% of freshwater is 
present as surface water and 0.9% as minor storage (Alley, 1999).
