Explanation: 

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: -The top of the water in the soil, sand, or rocks is called the water table and the water that fills the empty spaces and cracks is called ground water. Water seeping down from the land surface adds to the ground water and is called recharge water.

Detailed explanation-3: -The seeping of water underground through the tiny spaces in between the soil particles is called percolation.
