Groundwater

Real World Example

Imagine trying to keep your house cool on a hot summer day by using thick curtains to block out the sun. Just as those curtains absorb and store the sunlight's heat, preventing it from making your house uncomfortably warm, groundwater acts similarly by storing rain and melted snow within the underground soil and rock. In this analogy, the thick curtains represent the underground layers of soil and rock that absorb and retain the water, while the sunlight represents the rain and melted snow being captured and stored for future use, keeping the environment balanced and hydrated.
