    Groundwater collects in the spaces, or pores, between bits of rock and soil underground. The amount of groundwater held varies depending on how tightly packed the soil and rock are. Groundwater moves easily through materials with large, connected pores but may seep deep if the pores are not connected. It will eventually reach the water table, where the ground is saturated and water almost stops moving downwards, with some water staying in topsoil for use by plants and trees.
