Question

List 2 types of geologic studies that can be done to find ground water. Explain what information you get from these studies and how that helps one find ground water.

Answer 1

Groundwater is found in two zones. The unsaturated zone, immediately below the land surface, contains water and air in the open spaces, or pores. The saturated zone, a zone in which all the pores and rock fractures are filled with water, underlies the unsaturated zone.
