The water then begins to fill the spaces in the permeable layers. It gets contained in aquifers, sponge like formations of rock, sand, or gravel that hold water. An aquifer has two layers; the upper layer or zone of aeration and the lower layer or zone of saturation. The boundary between the two is called the water table. Any area where surface water soaks into the ground and reaches an aquifer below is called the recharge zone.]]> 2018-04-17 12:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lgreer4/m1ypbrcbpxpa/wish/252527363 Groundwater is water that's found below the Earth's surface. https://padlet.com/lgreer4/m1ypbrcbpxpa/wish/252528204 2018-04-17 12:22:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lgreer4/m1ypbrcbpxpa/wish/252528204 https://padlet.com/lgreer4/m1ypbrcbpxpa/wish/252528473 Most of people rely on fresh, liquid water to do day to day activities, even though a very small amount of Earth's water is both fresh and liquid ]]> 2018-04-17 12:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lgreer4/m1ypbrcbpxpa/wish/252528473 https://padlet.com/lgreer4/m1ypbrcbpxpa/wish/252529257 Wells are dug deep into the zone of saturation so that they won't dry up during seasonal droughts ]]> 2018-04-17 12:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lgreer4/m1ypbrcbpxpa/wish/252529257 https://padlet.com/lgreer4/m1ypbrcbpxpa/wish/252529337 2018-04-17 12:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lgreer4/m1ypbrcbpxpa/wish/252529337 https://padlet.com/lgreer4/m1ypbrcbpxpa/wish/252530184 2018-04-17 12:27:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lgreer4/m1ypbrcbpxpa/wish/252530184 https://padlet.com/lgreer4/m1ypbrcbpxpa/wish/252530400 Each day the U.S. aquifers release 1.9 trillion liters of groundwater]]> 2018-04-17 12:28:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lgreer4/m1ypbrcbpxpa/wish/252530400 Runoff https://padlet.com/lgreer4/m1ypbrcbpxpa/wish/252538023 The draining of any water (or any substance carried in it) from the surface of any area of land, a building or stru]]> 2018-04-17 12:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lgreer4/m1ypbrcbpxpa/wish/252538023 WaterShed- https://padlet.com/lgreer4/m1ypbrcbpxpa/wish/252538366 an area or ridge of land that separates waters flowing to different rivers, basins, or seas.
