Is often groundwater must be be pumped to the surface To be used?
Groundwater does not have to be pumped to the surface to use, although that would seem the most logical way to get access to it. It has no difference on the make up of the water, or the purity.
What is the interaction between surface water and groundwater in a watershed?
Surface water collects in a watershed and seeps into the ground
How are groundwater and runoff alike?
Ground off and runoff are both precipitation and fresh water. Since they are fresh water, people use groundwater and runoff for households and drinking waters sometimes.
Which term is used to describe groundwater rising to the surface due to pressure in the aquifer?
artesian well
What is most likely for a landfill to pollute directly?
The leachate from a landfill contains numerous liquid pollutants suc as acids, organics, dissolved metals and high BOD material. It can leave the landfill and comtaminate groundwater and surface water.NOTE: Leachate is material that dissolves out of a solid mass, like tea out of a tea bag, when water flows through it.
Groundwater sometimes flows out of the surface in artesian wells?
no
What is a example of runoff?
A non example of runoff is groundwater because groundwater, the water flows under the ground and as for runoff the water flows over the land's surface

Grounwater is water that that runs along earths surface?
Groundwater is water that collects and flows beneath the Earth'surface, filling spaces in soil, sediment and rocks. The upper surface of groundwater is the water table
Where the water table meets the ground surface groundwater bubbles or flows out of cracks in the rock in openings called?
A natural spring
What is the difference between groundwater and aquifers?
Groundwater is any water present below the earth's surface. An aquifer is a porous and permeable zone in a rock or soil through which ground water flows.
Where groundwater bubbles or flows out of cracks in the rock are called?
places where groundwater bubbles or flows out of cracks in the rock is called springs.
When groundwater that flows in an aquifer between two layers of impermeable rock is forced to the surface by an increase in pressure .what is formed?
artesian well
Is formed when groundwater that flows in an aquifer between two layers of impermeable rock is forced to the surface by an increase in pressure?
artesian well
Where does surface water travel?
Surface water flows downhill or seeps into the ground becoming groundwater. The natural flow of surface water is downhill or seaward. See the related link for more information.
Places where groundwater bubbles or flows out of cracks in the rock are called?
places where groundwater bubbles or flows out of cracks in the rock is called springs.
What are the four misconceptions about ground water?
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.
