No, there is far more water in groundwater than is found in lakes and rivers.
According to the United States Geological Survey groundwater accounts for 1.7% of all water on Earth.
Although much of the water we use in our everyday comes from lakes and rivers, all together these sources account for approximately 0.014% of the water on Earth.

∙ 15y agoLakes can receive groundwater from artesian sources, but it is not called groundwater once it comes out of the ground. It is called surface water once it is out of the ground. So "no and yes" is your answer.

How does saltwater intrusion happen?
Saltwater intrusion is the movement of ocean water into fresh groundwater that causes contamination of the freshwater by salt. This is a process of nature and usually occurs near the coastlines where the fresh groundwater level approaches the same level as the sea.
Where does the earth's fresh water come from?

Difference between fresh water and marine water?
Differences in fresh water and marine biomes are:Marine biomes have more salt than freshwater biomes.They have different animals; some animals cannot survive in saltwater conditions, so they are freshwater animals.Three fourths (3/4) of the water on earth is made up of marine biomes, while freshwater biomes are found inland as rivers, lakes, and ponds.
Are old rivers the slowest moving rivers?
