Hello! How can I help you today?

I'm learning about the water cycle in school. What is groundwater?
user
Groundwater is the water stored beneath the Earth's surface in the soil and in the pores of rocks. It's an important part of the water cycle.
assistant
How does it get there?
user
Groundwater gets there through a process called infiltration, where rainwater seeps into the ground and moves downward through the soil and rock layers.
assistant
Is groundwater safe to drink?
user
Groundwater is usually safe to drink, but it can be contaminated by pollutants or bacteria. That's why it's often treated before being used as drinking water.
