irrigation
drinking water
fire hydrants
wells

Explanation:

The water is either stored in aquifers or slowly pulled downhill by gravity, where it will eventually seep into streams, lakes, and oceans. Wells can be drilled into aquifers to pump out water for irrigation, drinking, fire hydrants, and other uses. Many local and state water departments depend on groundwater for public use. In 2000, almost 20 percent of freshwater used in the United States came from groundwater.
