Question

Mark ‘T’ if the statement is true and ‘F’ if it is false: The freshwater stored in the ground is much more than that present in the rivers and lakes of the world. (T/F)

Answer 1

True. The freshwater stored in the ground is much more than that present in the rivers and lakes of the world.

• Groundwater is the water found underground in the cracks and spaces in soil, sand, and rock. It is stored in and moves slowly through geologic formations of soil, sand, and rocks called aquifers.
• Groundwater is the source of about 33 % of the water that county and city water departments supply to households and businesses (public supply).

Hence, The freshwater stored in the ground is much more than that present in the rivers and lakes of the world is a true statement.
