Groundwater (or ground water) is the water present beneath Earth's surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations.

A unit of rock or an unconsolidated deposit is called an aquifer when it can yield a usable quantity of water.

The depth at which soil pore spaces or fractures and voids in rock become completely saturated with water is called the water table.

Groundwater is recharged from, and eventually flows to, the surface naturally; natural discharge often occurs at springs and seeps, and can form oases or wetlands.

Groundwater is also often withdrawn for agricultural, municipal, and industrial use by constructing and operating extraction wells.

The study of the distribution and movement of groundwater is hydrogeology, also called groundwater hydrology.

Irrigation is the method in which a controlled amount of water is supplied to plants at regular intervals for agriculture.

It is used to assist in the growing of agricultural crops, maintenance of landscapes, and revegetation of disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of inadequate rainfall.

Additionally, irrigation also has a few other uses in crop production, which include protecting plants against frost, suppressing weed growth in grain fields and preventing soil consolidation.

In contrast, agriculture that relies only on direct rainfall is referred to as rain-fed or dry land farming.

Water treatment is any process that makes water more acceptable for a specific end-use.

The end use may be drinking, industrial water supply, irrigation, river flow maintenance, water recreation or many other uses, including being safely returned to the environment.

Water treatment removes contaminants and undesirable components, or reduces their concentration so that the water becomes fit for its desired end-use.

A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids or gases), or sometimes slurries, by mechanical action.

Pumps can be classified into three major groups according to the method they use to move the fluid: direct lift, displacement, and gravity pumps.
