1. Groundwater

2. Groundwater Water located below the Earth’s Surface Two zones
Zone of Aeration
Zone of Saturation
Water table is the boundary where the two zones meet
Recharge zone is the ground surface area where water enters the aquifer

3. Aquifer

4. Aquifer
A rock layer that stores and allows the flow of groundwater.

5. Porosity Percentage of open space between individual rock particles
Influenced by the size of the particles

6. Permeability Rocks ability to let water pass through
Larger particles produce less friction

7. Percolation
Water passing through the spaces in the soil due to gravitational forces
