Solution

Explanation: 3 Marks

Water seeps through spaces in the soil and gets collected in the cracks and spaces deep below the ground over porous rocks. This collected water forms a part of the groundwater and some droplets go further down and get collected over impervious rocks to form aquifers.
Water in the aquifers can be pumped out with the help of tube wells or handpumps.
