| Abstract | Groundwater resides in the subsurface voids of granular, fractured and crystalline media. Groundwater is a key component of the hydrosphere, representing the earth’s second largest reservoir of fresh water after glaciers and ice sheets. Groundwater is an important source of water for drinking and irrigation, although contamination and over-extraction threaten the resource. |
