  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Select the correct option which on rearranging gives the term for the groundwater stored between layers of hard rock below the water table.
    Solution

    An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock, rock fractures or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt) from which groundwater can be extracted using a water well. It is a porous substrate.  When water can flow directly between the surface and the saturated zone of an aquifer, the aquifer is unconfined. The deeper parts of unconfined aquifers are usually more saturated since gravity causes water to flow downward.
