Surface Water Becomes Groundwater When It

Surface Water Becomes Groundwater When It?

Surface water becomes ground water when it percolates, or filters through, the ground and joins with existing ground water in aquifers.

How does surface water become groundwater?

At a certain depth below the land surface, the spaces between the soil and rock particles can be totally filled with water, resulting in an aquifer from which groundwater can be pumped and used by people. Some of the precipitation that falls onto the land infiltrates into the ground to become groundwater.
