Impermeable formation which may contain water but incapable of transmitting significant water quantities.
A
Aquifer
B
Aquitard
C
Aquiclude
D
Aquifuge
Explanation: 

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: -(geology) A solid, impermeable area underlying or overlying an aquifer.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Aquitard:A geologic formation, group of formations, or part of formation through which virtually no water moves. Aquiclude:A saturated, but poorly permeable bed, formation, or group of formations that does not yield water freely to a well or springs.

Detailed explanation-5: -An aquifer is best defined as a saturated permeable geologic unit that can transmit significant quantities of water under ordinary hydraulic gradients. An aquiclude is defined as a saturated geologic unit that is incapable of transmitting significant quantities of water under ordinary hydraulic gradients.
