    Groundwater is the water that soaks into the soil after it rains and travels down through soil and rock layers. This water gets stored deep underground in natural spaces and is called groundwater. We use wells, tube wells and handpumps to draw this water for drinking, farming and daily use. It is an important freshwater source, especially where rivers or lakes are not nearby.

    Rivers begin in high places like mountains and flow downwards due to gravity. Their journey across the land depends on the land’s shape. Rivers may curve, stop or spread depending on slopes, rocks and barriers. Through activities like the mustard seed experiment, we understand how rivers follow the natural path carved by the land, shaping valleys and collecting water into lakes and ponds.

    The mustard seeds moved down the sloped paper surface, imitating how water flows from higher areas to lower ones. They did not follow a straight line but followed paths created by the surface. This helped in understanding how rivers begin in the mountains and follow downhill paths. The activity shows how land shape influences water flow, similar to river and stream movements in nature.

  4. The mustard seeds did not move in a straight line; instead, they spread out and moved in different directions based on the surface's folds and slopes. This shows that water, like seeds, flows depending on the landform. Natural features such as hills, valleys and plains guide the water's direction, cRead more

    The mustard seeds did not move in a straight line; instead, they spread out and moved in different directions based on the surface’s folds and slopes. This shows that water, like seeds, flows depending on the landform. Natural features such as hills, valleys and plains guide the water’s direction, causing rivers to bend, split or collect in different areas as they flow.

  5. Yes, the mustard seeds gather in some areas where the paper is lower or has dips. This is similar to how water collects in valleys, lakes, ponds and rivers. Land formations like basins or flat areas stop water from flowing further, allowing it to settle and form water bodies. This activity helps usRead more

    Yes, the mustard seeds gather in some areas where the paper is lower or has dips. This is similar to how water collects in valleys, lakes, ponds and rivers. Land formations like basins or flat areas stop water from flowing further, allowing it to settle and form water bodies. This activity helps us understand how geographical features influence where water accumulates naturally.
