Detailed explanation-1: -An aquifer is a body of porous rock or sediment saturated with groundwater. Groundwater enters an aquifer as precipitation seeps through the soil. It can move through the aquifer and resurface through springs and wells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Groundwater. Groundwater is water that has infiltrated the ground to fill the spaces between sediments and cracks in rock. Groundwater is fed by precipitation and can resurface to replenish streams, rivers, and lakes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Groundwater is the water found underground in the cracks and spaces in soil, sand and rock. It is stored in and moves slowly through geologic formations of soil, sand and rocks called aquifers.

Detailed explanation-4: -The underground water coming out naturally is called spring.. Springs are formed when water pressure causes a flow of water onto the surface of the earth through the cracks and tunnels within the aquifer.

Detailed explanation-5: -The vadose water is further subdivided into three zones, i.e., soil water zone, intermediate zone and capillary zone.
