Freshwater & Groundwater Study Guide


Before you Begin, you Should Know...

  • relationships between groundwater zones, including saturated and unsaturated zones
  • identification of sources of fresh water including rivers, springs, and aquifers
  • dependence on freshwater resources and the effects of human usage on water quality

Groundwater - water held underground in the soil or in pores and crevices in rock

Freshwater - water not found in the sea; water that is not salt-water


Fun Fact!

Do you know how people extract Groundwater?
They drill wells and pump water out from underground.


So, who am I?

I’m M. Jalal EL Hamidi, a curious explorer of all things earth and water. I like my research the way I like my thinking—layered, occasionally dry, but always deep.

I'm studying the invisible forces that keep the planet running… and trying to keep my plants alive at the same time. Still working on both.

Just like groundwater, I might not always be visible—but trust me, I’m essential. And if I ever rise to the surface? Expect a flood… of work and exercises.

In a world full of surface water types showing off on social media, I’m down here doing the real work—filtering through ideas, collecting knowledge, and trying not to crack under pressure like fractured rock.

You could say I’m a rare resource: 97% science, 2% awkward pauses, and 1% chance I’ll ever stop talking about groundwater.
