Step 1

Groundwater is the water which is present below the earth's surface in rocks , soil pore spaces and in the fracture of rock formations. They acts as a long term reservoir of natural water cycles which corresponds to short term reservoirs like atmosphere and fresh water surface. Groundwater is often recharged from the surface and may naturally discharge from springs and can form oasis and wetlands. Groundwater is also drawn for agricultural , domestic ,municipal, and industrial purpose for constructing and operating wells.
