What is the role of soil and rock layers in storing groundwater?
When it rains, some water is absorbed by soil. This water slowly seeps down through layers of soil and rock. It gets collected in empty spaces between rocks and becomes groundwater. This stored water is important during dry seasons. It can be accessed using wells, handpumps or borewells and is one oRead more
When it rains, some water is absorbed by soil. This water slowly seeps down through layers of soil and rock. It gets collected in empty spaces between rocks and becomes groundwater. This stored water is important during dry seasons. It can be accessed using wells, handpumps or borewells and is one of the most important sources of fresh drinking and farming water.

See lessWhy do cemented surfaces prevent groundwater recharge?
Cemented areas like roads, pavements and buildings block rainwater from entering the soil. When water cannot seep into the ground, it flows away through drains, causing less groundwater to be stored. This decreases the natural recharge of underground water. Over time, it leads to lower water levelsRead more
Cemented areas like roads, pavements and buildings block rainwater from entering the soil. When water cannot seep into the ground, it flows away through drains, causing less groundwater to be stored. This decreases the natural recharge of underground water. Over time, it leads to lower water levels in wells and borewells, especially during summers. Uncemented areas and rainwater harvesting help improve recharge.

Medicines like antibiotics and antivirals treat infections by targeting harmful bacteria or viruses, reducing their activity or eliminating them. Vaccines work differently—they expose the body to a harmless version of a germ, training the immune system to recognize and fight it in the future. This builds immunity without causing illness. Together, medicines and vaccines are vital tools in modern science, preventing and controlling disease and ensuring better public health outcomes.
