Overview

There are many aspects of groundwater to learn about, from understanding its presence and movement to learning about how to safely and sustainably pump it from beneath the ground. The Government of Alberta provides many ways to help Albertans learn about groundwater.

Understanding groundwater is no easy task because it cannot be seen or used until it comes to the surface. See the following fact sheets for more information:
