OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -Groundwater is fresh water (from rain or melting ice and snow) that soaks into the soil and is stored in the tiny spaces (pores) between rocks and particles of soil.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Groundwater is water that gets collected beneath the surface of the earth. The water seeps through the surface and the mud soaks it. Groundwater is procured by drilling or digging a well or by pumping.

Detailed explanation-4: -The saturated area beneath the water table is called an aquifer, and aquifers are huge storehouses of water. In our sand hole example, you have essentially dug a “well” that exposes the water table, with an aquifer beneath it.
