Groundwater moves ____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Groundwater moves from areas of high pressure to low pressure, which is usually from high elevation to low elevation. The movement is driven by gravity, which results in a downward flow toward the water table and then horizontally toward discharge areas such as springs, rivers or wells. Although some factors can influence the groundwater flow, such as topography, geology, and human activities, generally, groundwater movement is predictable and follows hydraulic principles.
