Water is constantly in contact with the ground in which it stagnates or circulates, so equilibrium develops between the composition of the soil and that of the water: i.e. water that circulates in a sandy or granitic substratum is acidic and has a few minerals.he rate of groundwater flow is controlled by two properties of the rock: porosity and permeability. Porosity is the percentage of the volume of the rock that is open space (pore space). This determines the amount of water that a rock can contain.
Groundwater Supply & Use. Groundwater is a significant water supply source. The amount of groundwater storage dwarfs our present surface water supply. At any given moment it is 20 to 30 times greater than the amount in all the lakes, streams, and rivers of the United States. Groundwater is also an important source of surface water. It also adds about 492 billion gallons per day to U.S. surface water bodies. Its contribution to the overall flow of rivers and streams in the U.S. may be as large as 50 percent, and it is a major source of water for lakes and wetlands.
