Water that is under the surface of the ground, it mostly consists of surface water that has been seeped down
 * Groundwater-**
 * Example:** Main use of groundwater is for irrigation uses, drinking-water and other public uses, and for supplying domestic water to people who do not receive public-supply water.

To change from a liquid or solid to a vapor; to give of moisture Not allowing penetration or passage
 * Evaporate-**
 * Example: ** Water that sits in a water bottle for some time eventually evaporates
 * Impervious- **
 * Example:** Surface run-off is a major component of the soft water of rivers in areas of impervious geology and may be highly cloudy(turbid)

The upper subdivision of the unsaturated zone, it is limited above by the land surface and below by the intermediate belt. The seepage of water into soil or a rock The passage of water through a plant from the roots through the vascular system to the atmosphere The planar, underground surface beneath which earth materials, as soil or rock, are saturated with water. The zone above the water table and below the boundary of saturation where the soil is saturated but the pressures are less than atmospheric Molecules get attracted to the liquid’s surface; a barrier is created between the air and the liquid. ** Ex. ** earth
 * Belt of soil moisture-**
 * Example: ** Soil moisture conditions for the many different grain and oilseed crops heading into spring seeding were considered to be in good shape in kmost areas of the Canadian prairies according to the Canadian Wheat Boards Weather summary for the week ended March 28.
 * Infiltration- **
 * Example: ** The greatest factor controlling infiltration is the amount and characteristics (intensity, duration, etc.) of precipitation that falls as rain or snow
 * Transpiration- **
 * Example: ** Studies have revealed that about 10 percent of the moisture found in the atmosphere is released by plants through transpiration.
 * Zone of saturation- ** The part of a ground water system in which all of the spaces between soil and rock material are filled with water.
 * Example: ** Soil pores being filled with water
 * Water table- **
 * Example: ** Water that is above the water table will drain downwards; a spring forms where the water table meets the surface of the ground.
 * Capillary fringe- **
 * Ex: ** oceans
 * Surface tension ** -
 * Ex: ** in a cylinder
 * Zone of aeration- ** Zone immediately below ground surface, in which openings are partly filled with air and partially with water trapped by molecular attraction

 * Gaining Streams**- Streams that receive groundwater discharge
 * Ex.** Any stream gaining water

 * Ex.** Phreatic Zone

__**507-510**__

** Voids- ** The empty space between grains in the soil or a rock. They are holes (pores) in the soil that water can get into Small intracellular, membrane-enclosed sac that stores or transports substances The percentage of the total volume of soil that consists of pore space Large holes curved into tree trunks for use as nesting and roosting sites
 * Ex: ** Voids located in high-density environments are smaller than voids located in low-density spaces of the universe

 * __515-519__**
 * Ex: ** the oldest and largest investor-owned public water utility is Delaware
 * Aquifer ** -an underground layer of water bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials like gravel or sand, silt or clay, from which groundwater can be usefully pulled out by using water well.
 * Ex: ** The Ogallala Aquifer ( High Plains Aquifer) is a vast yet shallow underground Water Table located under the Great Plaines in the United States[[image:http://water.tamu.edu/images/aquifersmall.jpg align="left" caption="aquifer" link="http://water.tamu.edu/images/aquifer.jpg"]]

Friction- ** Surface resistance to relative motion; the rubbing of the surface of one body against that of another Occurs when the pressure is not great enough to force the water out of the well
 * Ex: ** You rubbing your hands up and down causes friction
