Description. Groundwater is water located beneath the surface in soil pore spaces and in permeable geological formations. Sources of groundwater include seepage from the land surface, such as rainwater, snowmelt and water also that permeates down from the bottom of some lakes and rivers. 1 Fossil groundwater is water that has been trapped in rock formations over geological time scales.
