... Describe how water can be stored beneath the ground surface. Explain why the stores and flows of groundwater can vary in time and space within a drainage basin. The ground is an important store for freshwater that is available for use and consumption to mankind. 30% of all freshwater on Earth is believed to be stored as groundwater and shallow groundwater remains a very important source of water for many settlements. As a result of both water usage by humans and the varying climatic or geology conditions, the stores and flows of groundwater would vary in time and space within a drainage basin. Water is stored beneath the ground surface at different levels. Closest to the surface would be water that exists as soil moisture when water which hit the ground surface infiltrates into the ground and the regolith, which is a collection of loose particles that have been weathered
