Groundwater (Agriculture)

Water within the earth that supplies wells and springs.

Groundwater (Climate)

The supply of fresh water found beneath the surface of the Earth (usually in aquifers) that often supplies wells and springs.

Groundwater (Construction)

Water from an aquifer or subsurface water source.

Groundwater (Earth Science)

Water stored beneath the surface in open pore spaces and fractures in rock.

Groundwater (Environment)

Water below the earth's surface; the source of water for wells and springs.

Groundwater (Environmental Toxins)

Water beneath the earth's surface that fills pores between materials such as sand, soil or gravel. Groundwater is a major source of water for agricultural and industrial purposes and is an important source of drinking water for about half of all Americans.

Groundwater (Factory Farms)

Water that exists beneath the earth's surface in underground streams and aquifers.

Groundwater (Fish)

Subsurface water and underground streams that can be collected with wells, or that flow naturally to the earth's surface though springs.

Groundwater (Geography)

Water collected underground in porous rock strata; it emerges at the surface as springs and streams. The ground water's upper level is called the water table.

Groundwater (Middle East)

Fresh water found under the surface of the Earth (usually in aquifers) that often supplies wells and springs. Also referred to as underground water and subsurface water.

Groundwater (Natural Gas)

Water accumulations below the earth’s surface that supply freshwater to wells and springs.

Groundwater (Nature)

Water that exists below the surface of the ground and fills interconnected pores in the soil and cracks in the rocks.

Groundwater (Oil)

Water accumulations below the earth’s surface that supply freshwater to wells and springs.

Groundwater (Physical Geography)

Water that occupies the pore spaces found in some types of bedrock.

Groundwater (Real Estate)

Water under the earth's surface, regardless of the geological structure in which the water is standing or flowing. It does not include water in underground streams that have identifiable banks and beds.

Groundwater (Sanitation)

Subsurface water occupying the saturation zone, from which wells and springs are fed. In a strict sense the term applies only to water below the water table or piezometric surface. Also called phreatic water, plerotic water.

Groundwater (Science)

Water that is found below the Earth's surface

Groundwater (Speleological)

Water below the level at which all voids in the rock are completely filled saturated. Syn. phreatic water in saturated zone below water table.
Speleology term.

Groundwater (Toxic Substances)

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

Groundwater (Water)

Water that lies below the surface of the ground, usually in an aquifer or underground stream or lake. Wells are used to draw up groundwater for drinking and other purposes.
