Hello aspirant,
Difference between surface water and groundwater is given below:-
While,
Groundwater is contained in wide aquifers and after digging a deep well, it must be drained out of the bottom . In reservoirs, rivers and streams, surface water is drawn into the general public water system by an intake.
In a river, lake or other ground, surface water is present. The water isn't very high in mineral content,
and is usually mentioned as water albeit it's probably not.
Groundwater is water that's trapped in or through a soil or rock subsurface layer. There are some ways
that refill groundwater supplies, including rain that soaks within the soil, underground disappearing
rivers and therefore the melting snow.
The causes liable for water degradation are acid precipitation , sewage and waste water, oil pollutants,
industrial waste, dumping etc.
Hope this helps you
All the best for your future
