Ground water is the water found beneath the Earth's surface in soil pores and rock fractures. It is a crucial part of the hydrological cycle and serves as a major source of drinking water, irrigation, and industrial use. It accumulates through precipitation that infiltrates the ground and is stored in underground aquifers, which can be tapped through wells and springs.
