Groundwater is any water present below the earth's surface. An aquifer is a porous and permeable zone in a rock or soil through which ground water flows.

Groundwater refers to water beneath the Earth's surface in soil or rock, while aquifers are specific underground layers of rock or sediment that can store and transmit water. Aquifers act as natural reservoirs for groundwater, holding water that can be tapped for human use or environmental needs.
