3 TYPES OF GROUND WATER

METEORIC WATER

Rain droplets that seep down into spaces between the rocks.

Becomes the part of the water table and is the primary source of drinking water.

water derived from precipitation (snow and rain).

CONNATE WATER

These liquids are largely composed of water, but also contain many mineral components as ions in solution.

  liquids that were trapped in the pores of sedimentary rocks as they were deposited.

MAGMATIC WATER

Water which was formerly chemically bound up in minerals and has been released by heating in volcanic processes.

Released to the atmosphere during a volcanic eruption.

Water that exists within, and in equilibrium with, a magma or water-rich volatile fluids that are derived from a magma.

SURFACE or RUN-OFF WATER

is the flow of water that occurs when excess storm water, melt water, or other sources flows over the earth's surface.

This might occur because soil is saturated to full capacity, because rain arrives more quickly than soil can absorb it.
