It can puddle, get absorbed into the earth as groundwater, get used by plants, or runoff.

Misconception: Groundwater is a non-renewable resource. Groundwater is constantly renewed by passing from atmospheric or surface water to groundwater in the hydrologic cycle. Misconception: Water from springs is safe without treatment. Although flow through the ground does have a purifying effect on water by filtering sediment, bacteria, and certain chemicals, the purification effect is limited. Large concentrations of chemicals may be too much to be completely removed, and certain chemicals may not be removed by the ground at all. Some groundwater is naturally unsuitable for drinking because of the minerals it has dissolved from the rock through which it flows. Misconception: Groundwater and surface water are separate. Groundwater, surface water, and atmospheric water are intimately related through the earth's water recycling machine, called the hydrologic cycle. Water passes repeatedly through all three parts of the cycle. Misconception: Groundwater flows in underground rivers. Little groundwater flows in open channels beneath the surface. Most flows through fractures in the rock, through millimeter sized opening between layers, and between the grains of the rock.
There are three types of groundwater - 1) Connate which is entrappped brackish water found in the cracks or open spaces of rocks 2 Juvenile which comes directly from magma 3) Meteoric the type most often refered to as groundwater that is fresh, circulating water in the rocks open spaces.
Well, a main one is obviously that it waters the crops so that people don't have to.

Groundwater is used for growing plants, domestic use and manufacturing.
filter it through a charcoal filter / commercially available water filter, then boil it for 30 mins to kill any harmful bacteria - this should do it, add iodine for further disinfecting if in doubt but this will taste awful,
It has few or no side effects in humans. it kills different types of harmful bacteria. It doesn't kill good bacteria.
Evaporation precipitation and groundwater
it creates more CO2 to be trapped, destroys habitats, and changes reigonal weather patterns

There can be groundwater below lakes but it depends on whether that ground water a supply for the lake or it takes away the water in lake, and the amount that can keep the water in the lake.It also depends on the type of lakes that lake is decides the importance of groundwater.Lakes interact with groundwater in three ways: it can have groundwater in-flow that gives it water, or it can have seepage loss to groundwater, and most lakes have both.

Carbon monoxide, tar, and nicotine are three very harmful things in cigarettes.
Wind can cause soil erosion. Wind can also cause property and structural damage. Wind disperses non-native plant seeds that can become invasive.
