Groundwater is the water that resides beneath the earth's surface, filling the spaces and cracks in soil, rocks, and other geological formations. It is a crucial part of the hydrological cycle and acts as a major source of fresh water for various uses, including drinking, irrigation, and industrial applications. Groundwater accumulates in aquifers, which are geological formations that can store and transmit water.
