- Aquifer - Wikipedia
Typically (but not always) the shallowest aquifer at a given location is unconfined, meaning it does not have a confining layer (an aquitard or aquiclude) between it and the surface The term "perched" refers to ground water accumulating above a low-permeability unit or strata, such as a clay layer
- Aquifers - National Geographic Society
An aquifer is a body of rock and or sediment that holds groundwater Groundwater is the word used to describe precipitation that has infiltrated the soil beyond the surface and collected in empty spaces underground There are two general types of aquifers: confined and unconfined
- Aquifers and Groundwater | U. S. Geological Survey
When a water-bearing rock readily transmits water to wells and springs, it is called an aquifer Wells can be drilled into the aquifers and water can be pumped out Precipitation eventually adds water (recharge) into the porous rock of the aquifer
- Aquifer | Types Facts | Britannica
Aquifer, in hydrology, rock layer that contains water and releases it in appreciable amounts The rock contains water-filled pore spaces, and, when the spaces are connected, the water is able to flow through the matrix of the rock Wells drilled into aquifers are important sources of fresh water
- Aquifers Explained: Definition, Types, Importance and Conservation
Aquifers are one of the most important elements in the Earth’s hydrological cycle and are natural reservoirs that store and transport groundwater These groundwater resources are important for drinking water, agriculture and industry, and are essential for human survival and ecological balance
- What Are Aquifers? Understanding Their Vital Role in River Systems . . .
Aquifers are underground water-bearing formations that store and transport groundwater Rain, snowmelt, and surface water slowly seep down through the soil, percolating into these porous layers where it can remain—sometimes for months, sometimes for thousands of years
- Aquifers | Research Starters - EBSCO
Aquifers are geological formations capable of storing and transmitting water, providing a crucial source of groundwater for approximately 50% of the U S population
