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
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
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 | EBSCO Research Starters Aquifers are geological formations capable of storing and transmitting water, providing a crucial source of groundwater for approximately 50% of the U S population
