Hey there


The main difference between surface water and groundwater is that Surface water is the water which is found on the surface of the earth such as in a river, lake or other surface cavities
whereas,
Groundwater is water the contained in or by a subsurface layer of soil or rock.

Example of surface water:- river water, pond water , lake water .

Example of ground water:- water from tubewell

Some other difference between surface and ground water is provided below:-

Surface water:-

• It is usually not very high in mineral content.
• It is called as soft water due the presence of very less mineral content.

Ground water:-

• It commonly contains less contamination than surface water because the rock tends to act as a filter to remove some contaminants.
• It is called as hard water due the presence of high mineral content.

Thankyou
