Groundwater is the water that soaks into the ground from rain and can be stored beneath the ground. Groundwater is used to supply some of the public drinking water and also Group Water Schemes (GWSs) in Ireland. Group Water Schemes (GWSs) are community-run water supply schemes. Therefore, it is vital to protect the groundwater from pollution.
