From the ground!
Where’s the water coming
from??
We know that at the surface water is collected through accumulation.
But it doesn’t just stay on the surface!!
So, where does it go?
Place these layers in the correct place on your notes

Your notesshould
look likethis
At the Surface
• Water is collected through accumulation.
• There is more water underground than in rivers and lakes. What
happens to water
now?
PERMEABLE ROCK
• Water can easily pass through permeable rock.
• Permeable layers of rock and soil contain pores that are connected to each other.
• Sand and gravel are permeable materials.
• What could be an example of permeable material?
What happens to water
now?
WATER TABLE• Based on this picture,
write what you think the water table is.
• “the top of the saturated zone”

Unsaturated ZoneWhat happens to water
now?
GROUNDWATER• The saturated zone is
the layer of permeable rock or soil that is totally filled.
• Contains an aquifer, which gives water to a well or a spring

aquifers

GROUNDWATER cont.
• We get our water from groundwater being pumped through a well
• Groundwater can trade places with surface water, becoming rivers and lakes.
IMPERMEABLE ROCK
• Based on what you know about groundwater, write a definition for impermeable rock
“materials that water cannot pass through”
Label the picture with:– Groundwater– Permeable Rock– Surface water
• Draw the precipitation seeping into the ground
• Draw a well (make sure it reaches
the water table)
Run off
recharge
Water table
Discharge area
What are you really drinking??
Answer the questions as the video plays
LET’S CHECK!
•How does water move through underground layers of soil and rock?
•How do people obtain water from an aquifer?
