A distinction is made between groundwater and surface water, depending on its origin.
Groundwater is water from precipitation that has seeped into the ground. It is collected in different ways:
from springs;
- via draining galleries;
- by drilling a well down to the water table;
- by pumping from old mines where water has accumulated.
- Surface water is drawn from rivers, canals, streams, lakes and reservoirs.
You will find the exact source of the water you consume on the fourth page of your adjustment bill.
