What is tapping groundwater?
The extration of ground water, commonly via a bore hole drilled into an aquifer is called Tapping groundwater. It is a process in which a pipe and a pump is used to pull water out of the ground.
Why isn't well water muddy?
When the well is drilled, it is dug or drilled through the water-sand, and as the water flows into the well from the sand, it is cleaned by the sand, which acts as a filter.
Groundwater is stored in and moves slowly through permeable rock called aquifers . in what zone is groundwater located?
Groundwater that is not otherwise fossil groundwater forms part of the "water table".
What is the name for rainwater that sinks into and is stored in the ground?
Groundwater
How is groundwater replenished?
The collection of groundwater is a fundamental part of the water cycle. The water falls from the sky in the form of rain or snow and runs through the water systems to gather on the earth's surface. As time passes, the water that is not evaporated into the atmosphere to start the cycle over seeps into the ground through cracks in the earth's crust, replenishing the groundwater.

How is groundwater used?
Aquifers are used for animal and human drinking water supply, for agricultural irrigation, lawn watering, in manufacturing, sanitation, and any other use of water which one can conceive of.
What is the relationship between groundwater and the hydro logic cycle?
groundwater is dependent on the hydro-logic cycle. Water seeps to the surface and until it reaches an impermeable stratum. it then collects and can be drilled for use. If this cycle is broken the water table decreases.
What is the difference between throughflow and groundwater flow?
Through flow is the horizontal movement of water through the soil zone. Groundwater flow is the movement of water through the bedrock, which is typically an aquifer
How does groundwater move through the lithosphere?
There are big grinders that grind up water and you get ground water. That is what happened in New Orleans they lost their power and they couldn't grind the water into ground water so it flooded.

How is groundwater formed?
When water percolates down through the soil
How do cities get their water?
Through pipe systems; most of city water comes from groundwater compartments, called aquifers, which people retrieve using wells.
In landlocked lake's water is discharged primarily through what?
groundwater seepage
What is the name for rainwater that sinks into and is stored in the ground?

What is borehole?
Drilled Hole: a deep hole drilled into the ground to obtain samples for geological study or to release or extract water or oil Usually narrow in width. Probably the most common type is a water borehole, which is where the borehole is used as a water well.
