Water that exists beneath the earth's surface in underground streams and aquifers
Water found beneath the earth’s surface that fills pores between sand, soil particles, or gravel creating a saturated zone In aquifers, ground water is in sufficient quantities that it can be used for drinking water, irrigation, or other purposes
Underground water that is generally found in the pore space of rocks or sediments and that can be collected with wells, tunnels, or drainage galleries, or that flows naturally to the earth's surface via seeps or springs < back to top H
Water found below the surface of the land, usually in porous rock formations Ground water is the source of water found in wells and springs and is used frequently for drinking
Water in the ground that is in the zone of saturation, from which wells, springs, and ground-water runoff are supplied (After Meinzer, 1949, p 385 )
Subsurface water occupying the zone of saturation In a strict sense the term applied only to water below the water table
The supply of fresh water found beneath the Earth's surface (usually in aquifers) which is often used for supplying wells and springs Because ground water is a major source of drinking water, there is growing concern over areas where leaching agricultural or industrial pollutants or substances from leaking underground storage tanks are contaminating ground water
Water occurring in an aquifer below the surface of the ground The term is not applied to water that is percolating or held in the top layers of the soil, but to that below the water table
All the waters found beneath the surface of the earth which are contained within or under this State or any portion thereof, except such waters as are confined and retained completely upon the property of one person and do not drain into or connect with any other waters of the State
The supply of fresh water found beneath the Earth's surface, usually in aquifers, which supply wells and springs Because ground water is a major source of drinking water, there is growing concern over contamination from leaching agricultural or industrial pollutants or leaking underground storage tanks
Water beneath the earth's surface Water at sea level; water which has long been in contact with the limestone; water which is supersaturated Ground water level is the water table, the depth or elevation above or below sea level at which the surface of ground water stands
The supply of fresh water under the earth's surface in an aquifer or in the soil
The portion of the subsurface water which is in the zone of saturation where nearly all openings particles are filled with water The between soil n in the ground is top of the zone of saturation called the water-table
water occurring in the zone of saturation in an aquifer or soil List of Glossary Terms
Water within the earth that supplies wells and springs; water in the zone of saturation where all openings in rocks and soil are filled, the upper surface of which forms the water table Also termed Phreatic water
