Groundwater in the United States is used for many purposes: it supplies most private household wells and a large share of public drinking-water systems, provides the majority of water for agricultural irrigation, and supports industry (manufacturing, cooling, mining and mineral processing). It also serves livestock and aquaculture, is tapped for bottled and bottled-mineral waters, helps supply thermoelectric power plants for cooling, and sustains streams, wetlands and ecosystems by contributing baseflow during dry periods.
