Water that collects or flows beneath the Earth’s surface.

Water beneath the earth's surface that flows through soil and rock openings, aquifers, and often serves as a primary source of drinking water.

Groundwater is the water beneath the surface that often collects between soil and rock -- it reappears on the surface through wells and springs.

Water beneath the surface held in or moving through saturated layers of soil, sediment or rock.

Water beneath the earth's surface in the spaces between soil particles and between rock surfaces [compare with surface water].

Water located beneath the ground surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of geologic formations. A formation of rock or soil is called an aquifer when it can yield a usable quantity of water.

Water that exists beneath the earth’s surface, flows through geological formations such as sand layers, porous rock layers or fractured rock layers, and feeds wells.

Water stored undergound in rock and soil.

The mass of water in the ground that fills saturated zones of material such as sand, gravel or porous rock.

(sometimes written as two words) is water that occupies voids, cracks, or other spaces between particles of clay, silt, sand, gravel or rock within the saturated formation.
