Movement and Storage of Groundwater Section 2 Groundwater Weathering and Deposition Section 3 Groundwater Supply Section 1 Groundwater reservoirs provide water to streams and wetlands wherever the water table intersects the surface of the ground. Use of brackish groundwater could supplement or in some places replace the use of freshwater sources and enhance our Nations water security However a better understanding of the location and charac ter of brackish groundwater is needed to expand dev and Management.
