1. Groundwater
Where does the water go?

2. Runoff
Water that does not soak into the ground or evaporate, but flows across the Earth’s surface.

3. Factors Affecting Runoff:
Amount of rain
Length of time that rain falls
Steepness of land
Vegetation

4. Groundwater
Water that soaks into the ground collects in pores and empty space between sediment particles.
Approximately 14% of all fresh water is groundwater.

5. Permeable vs. Impermeable
Permeable has connected pores and space for water to flow underground.
Impermeable pores or spaces are not connect and do not allow water to flow.

6. Groundwater movement
Aquifer- a layer of permeable sediment that allows water to flow freely.
Area that completely saturated with water is the water table.

7. Ground Water Ground water includes: Wells, Springs, and Geysers
Permeable
Zone of Saturation
