Underground water can typically be found in aquifers, which are layers of permeable rock or sediment that hold water. These aquifers are replenished by precipitation and can be tapped into through wells for groundwater extraction. Areas with high water tables or near rivers and lakes are also likely to have underground water.

At 20 degrees Celsius on Earth, you would expect to find water in its liquid state.
Some features you would expect to find in a region with karst topography include sinkholes, caves, underground rivers, and disappearing streams. Karst landscapes are characterized by the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, resulting in unique landforms and geological features.
A developer would be most likely to find a sufficient supply of water for a network of wells in areas with high water tables, proximity to large bodies of water like lakes or rivers, or where underground aquifers are known to exist. Conducting a hydrogeological survey and consulting with local water authorities would also provide valuable insights into potential water sources for the community's wells.
To find underground water in black cotton soil, you can conduct a hydrogeological survey which may involve techniques such as drilling boreholes, using ground-penetrating radar, or employing electrical resistivity methods to map the subsurface structure and identify potential water sources. Consulting with local hydrogeologists or geotechnical engineers would also be beneficial in determining the best approach for locating underground water in black cotton soil.
You would expect to find lava solidifying into basalt at the surface of a volcano or lava flow. Basalt is a common volcanic rock that forms when lava cools and solidifies quickly, usually in areas with high volcanic activity.
