Boreholes used for agriculture, industry, and domestic consumption

Groundwater refers to water found in soil, gravel, sand, or rock layers. According to the announcement of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment on the designation of groundwater zones and groundwater depth, B.E. 2554, groundwater is defined as subsurface water located more than 15 meters below the ground surface. Groundwater originates from surface water that percolates through impermeable soil or rock layers and accumulates in the voids of the soil. The volume of groundwater can increase or decrease depending on the season; it increases during the rainy season and decreases during the dry season. If used in appropriate quantities and from wells that do not violate groundwater extraction principles, the water quality varies by location due to the leaching of nutrients in the local soil and rock layers. Therefore, before using groundwater, its quality should be tested according to the intended use, such as domestic consumption, agriculture, or fisheries.
