What is an aquifer?
An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock, rock fractures or unconsolidated materials.
There are two general types of aquifers:
1. Confined aquifers have a layer of impenetrable rock or clay above them.
2. Unconfined aquifers lie below a permeable layer of soil.
Groundwater can be extracted using a water well. The study of water flow in aquifers and the characterization of aquifers is called hydrogeology.
