Answer: Groundwater can remain in subsurface storage for long periods of time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ground water is the water reservoir that gets accumulated beneath the earth crust due to the accumulation of water that seeps into the soil and rock due to the absorption by water bodies river, lakes, ponds, oceans, and rain or any kind of precipitation. The groundwater remains as a subsurface storage of water until the site of groundwater is searched and water is extracted from it for household, agricultural or industrial purposes.
