BOREWELL WATER

Bore water or groundwater is the most common source of water in India, assessed by drilling the ground and pumping water from the aquifers. An aquifer is a water-holding permeable rock or clay that holds groundwater. When such water is pumped out, it carries dissolved salts, chemicals, and microorganisms which can be potentially harmful to a human body.

Largely, borewell water is the rainwater that seeps deep into the ground and gets trapped between the rock layers. The level of contaminants in this source of water depends on how deep the borewell is. There are two types of borewells – Deep and Shallow.
