given by her
The water below the surface of earth is termed as ground water
It has many advantages

It is one of the source of fresh water It can be used for
drinking and irrigation
As it is present below the ground, it is subjected to less
contamination as compare to surface water by human and animal
intervention
It get recharged during rainy season and is available even in
dry seasons where as most of the surface water evaporates It helps
in growth of vegetation by providing moisture to the soil

devoid of any disease causing pathogens Also, mosquitoes can not
breed there
