- Aquifer - Wikipedia
An aquifer is an underground layer of water -bearing material, consisting of permeable or fractured rock, or of unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt) Aquifers vary greatly in their characteristics The study of water flow in aquifers and the characterization of aquifers is called hydrogeology

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

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: Where are They Found, Types of Aquifers and How Do They Work
Aquifers are bodies of well-saturated rocks that make way for the easy movement of water So, when a saturated rock transmits its water to a well or spring, one can define it as an aquifer An aquifer needs to be penetrable and porous and it is usually created by rocks like sandstone, limestone, gravel, sand, and conglomerates
- 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
- 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
