Surface water becomes groundwater when it seeps downward to the saturated zone.
The saturated zone begins at the point where the pore spaces and cracks in the soil, sediment, or rock become completely filled with water. The top of this zone is called the water table. The quality of Minnesota groundwater as it relates to human health is generally excellent. Bacteria, viruses, and many chemical contaminants are removed or filtered from the water as it moves downward through silt, sand, and gravel deposits. In addition to full-service well contractor licenses, the MDH also issues limited licenses to persons who perform only certain types of work, such as installing pumps or sealing wells.
