Merits of ground water sources Being underground, the ground water supply has less chance of being contaminated by atmospheric pollution. The water quality is good and better than surface source. Prevention of water through evaporation is ensured and thus loss of water is reduced. Ground water supply is available and can even be maintained in deserted areas. The land above ground water source can be used for other purposes and has less environmental impacts. Demerits of ground water source The water obtained from ground water source is always pressure less. A mump is required to take the water out and is then again pumped for daily use. The transport / transmission of ground water is a problem and an expensive work. The water has to be surfaced or underground conduits are required. Boring and excavation for finding and using ground water is expensive work. The modeling, analysis and calculation of ground water is less reliable and based on the past experience, thus posing high risk of uncertainty.
