In school, you probably learned about the water cycle with a diagram. The problem is…it’s wrong – or at the very least, pretty misleading.

To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords:
– Aquifer: a body of permeable rock which can contain or transmit groundwater.
– Confined aquifer: an aquifer below the land surface that is saturated with water. Layers of impermeable material are both above and below the aquifer.
– Freshwater: naturally occurring water that is not salty, and is suitable for consumption if clean or processed.
