About this illustration

This flat illustration diagram shows a cross-section of the Earth's layers depicting groundwater, wells, and springs. It illustrates how rainwater soaks into permeable rock, forms a water table, and is accessed by a well or emerges as a spring when encountering impermeable rock layers. The diagram labels 'Rainwater soaks in', 'Water Table', 'Permeable Rock' (with examples like sand, gravel, sandstone), 'Impermeable Rock' (with examples like clay, shale, granite), 'Well', and 'Spring'. This image is suitable for teaching Earth science concepts related to hydrology and water resources in classroom slide presentations or as a labeling exercise on a worksheet.
