GEOLOGY

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 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: -The main source of groundwater is the rain. The rainwater and water from other sources such as rivers, lakes and ponds, seeps through the ground and fills the empty spaces between the soil and the rocks below the earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -The source of water for wells is ground water.

Detailed explanation-5: -A spring is a natural discharge point of subterranean water at the surface of the ground or directly into the bed of a stream, lake, or sea. Water that emerges at the surface without a perceptible current is called a seep. Wells are holes excavated to bring water and other underground fluids to the surface.
