Groundwater

KEY CONCEPTS

1) Groundwater is water found underground between the grains of sand, gravel and cracks in the bedrock.

2) Groundwater moves because gravity works underground just like it does above ground.

3) Groundwater is connected to surface water (rivers, lakes, etc.).

4) Groundwater is part of the water cycle.

5) We use groundwater as part of our drinking water supply.
