Where Does My Rainwater Go?
1. Rain falls to the earth and collects on the surface or underground.
2. Surface water flows into rivers, streams and reservoirs.
3. Groundwater is precipitation that seeps into the earth’s soils and rock formations and stored in aquifers. Groundwater is stored in underground reservoirs known as \”aquifers.\” Water can be pumped from underground reservoirs known as “aquifers” using wells.
