Water moves underground through pipes and man made tunnels. If there are no pipes or tunnels, water finds little holes or crevices to move through.

Why does water move underground?

Water moves underground through a process called infiltration, where it moves through pores and cracks in the soil and rocks. Gravity pulls the water downward towards the water table or aquifers, allowing it to flow through underground pathways. Factors such as slope, soil type, and rock characteristics can influence the speed and direction of underground water movement.


Is underground water called fresh water?

Underground water is called underground water, because it is "underground" not because it is fresh or salt. You can have underground salt water reservoirs just like you can have fresh water ones.


How does fresh water go under the ground?

Fresh water can infiltrate the ground and move through porous layers of soil and rock to reach underground aquifers. This process, known as groundwater recharge, occurs when precipitation seeps into the ground and fills the spaces between particles in the soil or rock. The water then flows slowly through these underground layers, eventually replenishing underground water sources.


Where does some water from the water cycle collect underground?

Some water from the water cycle collects underground in aquifers.


How does water move through underground layers of soil and rock and how do people obtain it from an aquifer?

In the same way, water underground trickles down between particles of soil and through cracks and spaces in layers of rock. People can obtain groundwater from an aquifer by drilling a well below the water table.

It moves by leaching through water.


What are springs and how does water move move through underground layers of soil and rock?

Springs: This is groundwater that emerges at the surface from deep underground. Immense pressure combined with the structure of the local geology forces the water to the surface.
