GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Aquicludes are the impermeable formations which contain water but are not capable of transmitting or supplying a significant quantity (e.g., clays). Aquifuge : Aquifuge is an impermeable formation which neither contains water not transmits any water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Aquifuge. An aquifuge is an impermeable geological formation which is neither porous nor permeable – which means it cannot store water in it and at the same time it cannot permit water through it. Compact rock is an example of aquifuge.

Detailed explanation-3: -An aquifuge is an absolutely impermeable unit that will not transmit any water. An aquiclude is a formation that has very low hydraulic conductivity and hardly transmits water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Also called a semi-pervious formation or leaky formation. Aquiclude-geologic formation which may contain water, but is incapable of transmitting water. Aquifuge-geologic formation which neither contains nor transmits any water.

Detailed explanation-5: -It may transmit vertically appreciable quantities of water to or from adjacent aquifers. Sandy clay is an example of aquitard. An aquifuge may be defined as a geological formation of impermeable material which neither contains nor transmits water through it. For example :Solid rocks.
