UNDERGROUND WATER FORMATION, IMPORTANT, UNDERGROUND WATER AND POLLUTION IN TURKEY

Introduction Underground waters are formed by filling waters within porous waters or rocks that leak from the ground.  Such rocks that accumulate in the water are called "aquifer". Aquifer; (Conductive) permeable geological units capable of storing and transporting water in significant quantities (1). Today, the use of groundwater has increased considerably. As a result of global pollution of underground waters used in industry, agriculture, thermal sources or drinking water, human and environmental health have been endangered (2). One of the most important problems of our time is the need for clean water resources. Research shows that water use has increased by two to three times in the last 40 years worldwide (3).
