  • Groundwater: Definition, Aquifers, and Importance
    Water that fills in cracks and spaces underground in soil and rock layers is called groundwater.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Groundwater is water that exists beneath the Earth's surface in the spaces between soil particles and rock layers.

    * These spaces are called pores and fractures, which can be large or small.

    * Aquifers are underground layers of rock or soil that are saturated with groundwater and can yield significant amounts of water.

    It's important to note that groundwater is a valuable resource and should be protected from pollution.
