Question

28. Replace the following with a word or a phrase.

e. reservoirs of underground water

Answer 1

• The water from rain that falls on the earth's surface flows mainly into rivers and seas. But some of the water seeps through the ground and is available to us.
• This water is called groundwater and its reservoirs are called aquifers.
• We can use this water by drawing it out from the aquifers using a tube well or borewell.

Hence, reservoirs of underground water are called aquifers.
