Abstract
As part of the hydrologic cycle, groundwater is always in motion from regions of natural and artificial replenishment to those of natural and artificial discharge. Bodies of stagnant, usually saline, water trapped in various porous geological formations do exist, but are of little interest to the groundwater hydrologist. When the salinity level of such water is acceptable, water can be mined from such nonreplenishable formations, until the resource is depleted.
