Abstract- A transition zone develops in the lake bed or river bed or sea bed through which ground water and surface water interact. They both mix in a ‘hyporheic zone’ in a river where a particular type of flora and fauna are present. This mixing of ground water and surface water is induced by a pressure gradient created by the variation in the flow of surface water. This mixing zone depends upon the type of riverbed, flow of river, ground-water and surface water head. The paper will elaborate the causes of interaction of ground water and surface water.
