How A Water Heater Works
The subsurface water is incredibly important for the environment. Subsurface water is ground water. It exists in the pore spaces and fractures of rock, collects in areas called water tables, and otherwise hydrates the ground and everything that grows above it. Trees root deep to access it. So too do people when they dig wells. It's important because it provides water to all that is living and growing on earth. When it gets contaminated though, that's when problems start happening. Poisoning the living things brings disease and death shortly thereafter. Unfortunately, contamination is common and happening without much of the public's knowledge. Here are eight common sources of water contamination you probably didn't know about.
1. Incoming Water
Going Green-Having your own well benefits the environment at large. There is far less pollution and energy used on your own well when compared to the industrial size machines used to filter water for towns or cities.
2. Heating the Water
Initial Costs-Depending on the system that you choose the initial cost can actually be quite high making it take longer to cover the costs of your investment and make it worth the time. Beyond the hardware and time that you will be spending you will also need an expert come over for groundwater mapping so you know the best location to place the well.
Third and finally, is fracking. Fracking is a process of teasing out natural gas from layers of rock deep in the earth. High powered water is shot down into the rocks to create little fissures and fractures. Those fissures will allow natural gas to escape and be sucked up through high powered machines.
3. To Your Shower
These are three ways you may not have realized are contaminating the subsurface water. Measures are being taken to prevent contamination as much as possible, but increased awareness can help that movement forward with individual care and responsibility.
