Generation

Groundwater is water that fills the spaces between soil particles and cracks in rocks beneath Earth's surface, much like water filling the gaps in a sponge. An aquifer is an underground layer of permeable rock or sediment (like sandstone or gravel) that holds enough groundwater to supply wells and springs. When we drill wells, we're tapping into these aquifers to access the water stored there. The water in aquifers is replenished when rain and snowmelt seep down through the soil, though this recharge process can take years or even centuries depending on the depth and geology.
