What is the difference between groundwater and aquifers?
Groundwater is any water present below the earth's surface. An aquifer is a porous and permeable zone in a rock or soil through which ground water flows.
What is the difference between soil water and groundwater?
Ground water is the water present in the saturated zone of the subsurface. Soil water is the water present in the unsaturated zone of the subsurface.
What is the difference between ground water and freshwater?
All ground water is freshwater. But not all freshwater is in the form of groundwater. E.g. freshwater may exist in the form of ponds, lakes, rivers or ice caps.
What type of body of water moves the slowest?
groundwater
Does groundwater flowing into the ocean involve water vapor?
no groundwater in general dos not involve water vapor as groundwater is liquid water not gaseous water (water vapor).
What is the difference between groundwater and aquifers?

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
What is the difference between soil water and groundwater?
Ground water is the water present in the saturated zone of the subsurface. Soil water is the water present in the unsaturated zone of the subsurface.
What is the connection between groundwater and water table?
both the water table and the groundwater is at the top of the aquifer
Difference between contaminant adsorption and absorption in saturated ground water?
Contaminant adsorption is the variety of contaminants in the environment. Absorption in saturated ground water is the process that is used to get rid of pollution from groundwater.
Does the well get water from the groundwater or surface water?
The groundwater gets the water
Does the wells get water from the groundwater or from surface water?
The groundwater gets the water
What is the difference between wadis wells and fossil water wells?
Fossil water is the geological water and it is not recommended to tap it. Wadis is word used in Arabic for an area between mountains and is generally used for cultivation of agriculture. Wadis well is the well which has the water (the groundwater) from the watershed area.
What is the difference between ground water and freshwater?
All ground water is freshwater. But not all freshwater is in the form of groundwater. E.g. freshwater may exist in the form of ponds, lakes, rivers or ice caps.
What is the difference between precipitation and ground water?
Precipitation is rain (or snow etc) falling from the clouds. When it lands it becomes surface water in rivers, lakes and oceans. If it seeps into the earth it becomes groundwater, usually in aquifers.
What type of body of water moves the slowest?
groundwater
What is the interaction between surface water and groundwater in a watershed?
Surface water collects in a watershed and seeps into the ground
