5.2 GroundWater
Underground Water
Surface water seeps underground into the soil and rock.

This area is divided in to 2 zones .

Zone of aeration

Zone of saturation

These 2 areas
meet at a boundary
known as the
water table
The percentage of open space between
individual rock particles in a rock layer is
called porosity.
Permeability- The ability of rock or
sediment to let fluids pass through
its open spaces, or pores.

When water is
unable to
penetrate rock
we call this
type of rock or
substance
impermeable
A rock layer that stores groundwater and
allows the flow of water is called an aquifer.

A crack in the impermeable rock can

cause an Artesian spring to form
Water Pollution
Septic tank- is a large underground tank
that cleans the wastewater from a household
Sewage treatment
plant- is a large
complex that cleans
the wastewater from a
community
Point-source pollution- pollution from
one known source
Nonpoint-source pollution- pollution
from many unknown sources
Local Polluters
