Groundwater is the water contained with saturated rocks and sediments below the surface of the land. It is typically slightly to moderately saline, especially with increasing depth.
Groundwater is vital in sustaining streams, rivers, lakes and wetlands, as well as trees and deep rooted vegetation. It can be millions of years old and is slowly replenished by rain and snow, but can be easily depleted by extraction.
