Ms Zulick January 12 2015 Groundwater Groundwater is fresh water found underground NOT an underground lake Water is stored in air spaces between rocks underground like a sponge How does it get there. 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 A DEMONSTRATION THE GROUNDWATER FOUNDATION www.groundwater.org Groundwater is water found underground in the spaces and cracks between rocks, sand, soil and clay.
