Answer:

​It comes from deep, protected underground aquifers.

Explanation:

  • The groundwater is a water present beneath the surface deep within the soil pores and fractured rocks. An unconsolidated deposit named as aquifer contains unstable but drinking water, as this water is recharged from the surface.
  • It's often regarded as cheap, convenient and pollution-free as most of the industrial and agricultural wastewaters does not reach such great depths.
  • Thus making up 20% of the freshwater in the world. And hence regarded as a long term natural water cycle. The groundwater moves around  16 miles per day thus are filtered.

How do geologists use index fossils to determine the age of rock strata?
love history [14]

The index fossils are fossils that are found in the rock strata of certain geologic period, but they are also fossils that are very common and can be found in numerous places around the globe.

Because they can be found all over the globe, and they are indicative of certain geologic period, the geologists have started to use them as a simple way of determining the age of the rock strata. While this method can not provide the geologists with an accurate year for the formation of the rocks, it is still able to determine the relative age of the rocks. By determining the relative age with such ease by using the index fossils, the geologists are able to immediately make conclusions about the rock strata, have basic information about it, and largely be aware of the processes that formed them and influenced them.
