- 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

An aquifer is a geologic formation, a group of formations, or a part of a formation that contains sufficient saturated permeable material to yield significant quantities of water to wells and springs
- 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 is an Aquifer? – Spokane Aquifer Joint Board
An aquifer is a saturated underground rock layer with enough available water that can be pumped out or flow from underground as a spring We live, work, and play over our drinking water Aquifers, like the Spokane Valley Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer are replenished by the hydrologic (water) cycle
- What is an Aquifer? - Alabama Cooperative Extension System
Aquifers are rarely underground lakes or rivers as people might think The vast majority of groundwater is found between grains in rocks, soil, and sediment How easily water can flow through an aquifer also determines its ability to provide water to a well
