Ground Water
Scientists refer to all above ground freshwater environments with moving water as lotic ecosystems.
Ground water
Ocean water has salt in it, Freshwater does not.
Groundwater refers to water that is stored beneath the Earth's surface in porous rock formations, whereas freshwater refers to water that contains low levels of salts and is suitable for human consumption. Groundwater can be either freshwater or saline depending on its location and the surrounding geology.
The percentage of Earth's ground water is 0.5%.
Scientists refer to all above ground freshwater environments with moving water as lotic ecosystems. This term includes rivers, streams, and creeks.
76% (more than two thirds) of Earth's freshwater is found in any ice on Earth. (ex. glaciers) 23% of freshwater is found in groundwater 12% of the groundwater is "shallow ground water" 11% of the groundwater is "deep ground water" 0.34% of Earth's freshwater is found in rivers, streams, and lakes 0.037% of freshwater is found in water vapor
Yes and no. More or less freshwater than where?? You can't compare unless you have something to compare against. Is your question whether or not there is more freshwater underground or above ground?
Groundwater can be either saltwater or freshwater, depending on the location. In coastal areas, groundwater can be saltwater due to seawater intrusion. Inland areas typically have freshwater groundwater sources.
Surface water is water that flows or gathers on the ground surface, such as rivers, lakes, and streams. It is an important source of freshwater for many ecosystems and human activities.
A well is a hole dug into the ground to obtain freshwater. The well taps into an underground aquifer to reach a sustainable source of water for various uses such as drinking, irrigation, and industrial purposes.
