I. The Past: Historical and Geological Perspectives
1. Geological Formation and Evolution
Formation of Groundwater:
Interaction of water with geological processes (e.g., sedimentation, volcanism).
How water was trapped during Earth's formation.
Aquifer Formation:
Creation of porous and permeable rock layers.
Types of aquifers (confined, unconfined).
3. Evolution of Human Use and Knowledge
Early civilizations and their reliance on groundwater.
Ancient methods of groundwater extraction (e.g., qanats, step wells).
2. Paleo-groundwater Studies
Isotopic Analysis:
Tracing ancient groundwater using isotopes (e.g., tritium, deuterium).
Archaeological Evidence:
Historical records of wells and water use.
Ice Ages and Water Distribution:
How glacial cycles impacted groundwater reserves.
