Artesian Wells Used for Agriculture, Industry, and Domestic Consumption

Groundwater refers to underground water occurring in soil, gravel, sand, or rock layers. According to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment's Announcement on Designating Groundwater Areas and Groundwater Depth, B.E. 2554, underground water located more than 15 meters below the surface is classified as groundwater. Groundwater is formed from surface water seeping through impermeable soil or rock layers and accumulating in the voids within the soil. The quantity of groundwater can increase and decrease according to seasons; it increases during the rainy season and decreases during the dry season. If used in appropriate quantities and from sources that do not violate groundwater extraction principles, groundwater quality varies by location depending on the leaching of nutrients in the local soil and rock layers. Therefore, before using groundwater, its quality should be checked according to its intended use, such as for domestic, agricultural, or fisheries purposes.
