Ground water can seep out at the surface

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ground water can seep out at the surface when the water table intersects the ground surface. This occurs in areas where the water table is close to the ground surface, such as in wetlands or near streams and lakes. It can often be seen as seeps or springs where water is flowing out of the ground. When the water table is low, there may not be enough pressure for the water to reach the surface, and when it is high, there may be too much water for it to seep out. Runoff entering a channel is not related to ground water seeping out at the surface.
