What is Groundwater?
Groundwater is water stored underground in a medium called aquifer. Most
aquifers are composed of sand, gravel, sandstone, or fractured limestone that
allow water to move through their interconnected spaces. The speed at which the
groundwater flow in the aquifer depends on the size of the spaces in the
aquifer material, as well as how these spaces are connected. Groundwater is a
natural resource that can be exploited both in urban and rural areas for water
supply.
