Groundwater is the water present beneath Earth's surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations.
- A unit of rock or an unconsolidated deposit is called an aquifer when it can yield a usable quantity of water.
- The depth at which soil pore spaces or fractures and voids in rock become completely saturated with water is called the water table.
- Groundwater is recharged from the surface; it may discharge from the surface naturally at springs and seeps, and can form oases or wetlands.
- Groundwater is also often withdrawn for agricultural, municipal, and industrial use by constructing and operating extraction wells.
- The study of the distribution and movement of groundwater is hydrogeology, also called groundwater
