Final answer:

Groundwater is the underground storage reservoir for water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Underground storage reservoirs for water are called groundwater. Groundwater is water located in small spaces, called pore space, between mineral grains and fractures in subsurface earth materials (rock or sediment). It is the largest reservoir of usable fresh water and is particularly important in arid climates where surface water may be scarce.
