Answer 2

The question is explained below:

What is groundwater?

• Groundwater is water stored in the earth's crust, streams and aquifers.
• Examples of groundwater sources are tube wells, wells, and handpumps.
• Most of the groundwater is used for irrigation purposes, drinking and industries.
• The level of the ground where groundwater is present is known as the water table.
• The water table is depleting day by day due to excessive use.
• Water in rivers is also an example of groundwater.
• Groundwater has a constant temperature, no oxygen and constant chemical makeup.

Collection of groundwater:

• Groundwater is obtained from the rain because the water precipitate or snow seeps into the ground when there is no evaporation.
