What is a way in which groundwater becomes surface water?
Aqueducts
How can groundwater return to the atmosphere?
Well one way it can return to the atmosphere is it can evaporate and go up. Another way is that it can turn to runoff, water that cannot soak into the ground and instead flows across Earths surface.
Where do groundwater and runoff usually end?
Groundwater and runoff are two different things. Groundwater refers to water underground in the aquifers. Runoff ends up back underground by seeping into the soil after a rain. Runoff may also find its way into ditches, retention ponds, lakes,etc.

Which is a way thst groundwater depletion affects streams?
Water depletion would mean that streams would dry out, and rivers run low.

Is often groundwater must be be pumped to the surface To be used?
Groundwater does not have to be pumped to the surface to use, although that would seem the most logical way to get access to it. It has no difference on the make up of the water, or the purity.
Surface runoff from agriculture and other sources can pollute groundwater and surface water In what way can this be harmful to humans?
The pollution source can add diseases.. etc

Where a body of water enters into another?
it enters through1. Evaporation (water turns from a liquid to a gas and goes up into the clouds)2. Condenation (when water turns from a gas into a liquid)3. Transpiration (the movement of water through the atmosphere)4. Precipitation (that would be rain, snow, hail, etc.)5. Then a couple things could happen. The water could evaporate or penetrate the surface and become groundwater. Groundwater either makes its way to an ocean, a river, or something like that or gets released back into the atmosphere through transpiration. The water that remains on the earth's surface is called runoff.6. The cycle begins again
Could ground water gush out strongly to surface through 400m drilling pipes?
That would depend on the pressure of the groundwater in the aquifer. If the hydraulic head level (another way of describing water pressure) was higher than the Earth's surface at that point, then the water could indeed flow up the drill pipes.
Describe the path of water through the water cycle?
Evaporation begins it, rainfall completes it.
What are five way groundwater supply can be polluted?
Surface spills that leak into an aquifer. Poor farming skills. Leaking underground tanks. Mine tailing piles that leach into water sources. Bad pipes that start at oil wells.
How does ground water cause erosion?
1 Running water on the surface of the earth erodes the land. Groundwater also can cause erosion under the surface. As water flows through the soil, acid is formed. This acid can cause minerals to be dissolved.2 Minerals that are carried in groundwater can also be deposited in other places. This cycle of erosion and deposition can cause underground caves to form. This happens especially in areas where there is limestone below the surface.3 A cave is an underground opening. It has a connection to the surface of the earth. A cave is formed by the erosion of limestone under the ground. The acid water moves through the cracks in the limestone and makes them larger.
What is the hydrologic cycle?
"Hydrologic cycle" is another term for "water cycle." Water evaporates from the oceans and other bodies of water, forms clouds, which then produce rain, which falls on the earth and eventually makes its way back to the rivers and oceans.A hydrologic cycle is the natural sequence through which water passes into the atmosphere as water vapor.Horologic cycle is continuous movement of water. This is also known as a water cycle.water cycle

How does water gets in the air?
Surface water and moist soil are heated by the sun. This causes the water to evaporate and causes the air to become more humid. In just the same way that solid sugar will dissolve in water, liquid water will dissolve in air.
