👉 Ground fluids, also known as groundwater, are water that exists naturally within the pores and fractures of subsurface geological formations such as soil, sand, and rock. These fluids can originate from precipitation that infiltrates the ground or from deeper sources like springs or aquifers. Groundwater plays a crucial role in Earth's hydrological cycle, supporting ecosystems, providing drinking water for humans and animals, and influencing surface water bodies like rivers and lakes. The movement and quality of ground fluids are influenced by factors such as geological structure, soil permeability, and human activities like pumping and contamination. Understanding ground fluids is essential for managing water resources sustainably.
