When water percolates through ground where does it go?
It enters an aquifer.
How is ground water formed?
Ground water is formed when water fully saturates pores/cracks in the soil filling the ground with water and creating a mass of water underground. The main minerals in groundwater are sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, and sulfate.

Is groundwater an unlimited resource?
One would think it is, but sadly it isn't. Ground water comes from aquifers. Aquifers are supplied by surface water that percolates through the layers of soil until it reaches the depth of the aquifer. When water is pumped from the aquifer faster than it can be replenished, and it takes a long time to replenish an aquifer, it will dry up. Additional problems can occur when ground water is depleted.
How does water enter the water table?
the ground water seeps through the ground strata into the subterranean water table
How ground water formed?
When water percolates down through the soil.

How do you get clean water from underground water?
The water becomes clean underground as it percolates through sand and gravels.
What is an area of land through which water percolates to be stored as groundwater called?
Is surface water
Caves are formed by?
Most caves are in Limestone, and develop by ground-water dissolving the rock as it percolates through the rock's joints & other discontinuities. The water is rendered acid so it can dissolve the calcium carbonate by absorbed atmospheric CO2 (becoming Carbonic Acid).
How are aquifers replenishd?
Aquifers are replenished through a process called recharge, where water from precipitation, rivers, or lakes infiltrates the ground and enters the underground reservoir. This water slowly percolates through the soil and rock layers to refill the aquifer. The rate of recharge depends on factors such as land use, climate, and geology.
