Ground water includes all available water below the earth's surface in pore spaces, fractures and/or solution cavities (caves, caverns, etc). Basically, any water that is in the ground for a simpler definition. Most of our water lies below the earth's surace. About 60% of the worlds population depends upon ground water. 97% of water is salt water. 2.16 % of water comes from glaciers, .02% comes from rivers and lakes, and .61% comes from ground water.
