pumped up from ground water sources. What is the name of this

Answer 1

Aquifer

Step-by-step explanation:

Instead of snowcapped mountains that store water in advance of warmer temperatures, most of our drinking water comes from underground "mountains" of porous materials called aquifers which are replenished by rain. The Biscayne Aquifer is South Florida's lower east coast's primary source of fresh water.
