(D) Both C and D
Solution
Hint : Water is a chemical substance with the molecular formula H2O . It has one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Water covers the entire earth by nearly 75% . Water can be stored in the ground layers of the earth and mainly found in the water table is called groundwater.
Complete Step By Step Answer:
Water can exist in different phases like ice, water and vapour. It is very essential to all the organisms on the earth. There are several sources of water like rivers, seas, canals, wells and lakes. The fresh form of water is rain water. But due to global warming and all other pollutants the rain water becomes more acidic.
The sea water is present in huge quantities but it is not suitable for drinking as it contains more salt. The water from different sources reaches the earth and flows below the earth. This water can be stored in the water table. As the water is stored in the ground level and can be called as ground water.
Thus option B is the correct one.
Note :
Water can be present as ice in some continents due to global warming; this ice is melting and converting into water. Some water can be found in the earth’s crust called under water, but the water found below the water table can be called groundwater.
