Groundwater pollution (also called groundwater contamination) occurs when pollutants are released to the ground and make their way into groundwater. This type of water pollution can also occur naturally due to the presence of a minor and unwanted constituent, contaminant, or impurity in the groundwater, in which case it is more likely referred to as

What is Groundwater? – The Groundwater Foundation
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. Groundwater is used for drinking water by more than 50 percent of the people in the United States, including almost everyone who lives in rural areas.

14.1 Groundwater and Aquifers – Physical Geology-BCcampus
14.1 Groundwater and Aquifers. Groundwater is stored in the open spaces within rocks and within unconsolidated sediments. Rocks and sediments near the surface are under less pressure than those at significant depth and therefore tend to have more open space. For this reason, and because it’s expensive to drill deep wells, most of the

11.9: Back to Basics on Groundwater-Geosciences LibreTexts
As the name implies groundwater is simply water that exists underground. It is the opposite of surface water, which exists on the surface of the Earth such as lakes, rivers and oceans. Groundwater is an extremely important resource for industry, drinking water and other applications, however, it is generally quite poorly understood.

· When a water-bearing rock readily transmits water to wells and springs, it is called an aquifer. Wells can be drilled into the aquifers and water can be pumped out. Precipitation eventually adds water ( recharge) into the porous rock of the aquifer. The rate of recharge is not the same for all aquifers, though, and that must be considered when
