Abstract

Groundwater is the used for water that occurs beneath the ground surface.Groundwater forms a part of the hydrologic cycle. Water first passes through the zone of aeration or unsaturated zone. In this zone, a mixture of air and water fills the spaces between the rock and soil particles. From here, water is taken up by plant roots, discharged into a body of water, or flows down to the next zone, which is the zone of saturation or saturated zone.Here all the spaces between particles are completely filled with water. The top of this zone is called the water table. Geological formations are classified as aquifer or aquitard or aquiclude based on their capacity to transmit or store groundwater as follows
