I was on a hike and read a plaque that said this area used to be completely covered by water. My question is, where did all that water go? Just absorbed into the ground? Evaporated?

Its very possible that the earth used to be covered in water. Recent research suggestes that ancient earth (3 billion years ago) was a water world, covered in water with no continents. In other words, it was formless and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep, haha.
