Groundwater is stored in permeable layers of rock called aquifers. If a well is drilled - what is the correct order of the different layers that it would move through?

• saturated zone, unsaturated zone, water table

• water table, unsaturated zone, saturated zone

• unsaturated zone, water table, saturated zone

• saturated zone, water table, unsaturated zone

In the diagram, letter A best represents:

• Runoff

• Watershed

• Water Table

• Confining Layer

What is the relationship between groundwater and surface water?

• Surface water percolates (moves) through the soil to form groundwater.

• There is no relationship between surface and groundwater.

• Groundwater filters through the soil to form surface water.

• Surface water is found in lakes directly above underground water sources.
