Groundwater derives from rainwater which permeates through the soil and rocks. It fills up the pores between the sand grains and fissures in rocks. It can remain on the ground for less than a year to millions of years. When the groundwater horizon penetrates the land surface, it will be released as spring and flow into surface water.
