It rains then that water forms a lake or river then the water soaks down into the ground Then it must stay there for a couple of years then it forms a large amount of clean water This cycle forms groundwater.

Aquifers form when a layer of permeable bedrock (one that has air spaces/pores in between the mineral crystals) is saturated with water. For this to happen, the rock layer must have some sort of connection to the surface, so that rainwater that soaks into the ground can find its way down to the bedrock. The rock acts like a sponge, holding water in its pores.
