GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An area where permeable soil or rock allows water to seep into the ground to replenish an aquifer.

Detailed explanation-2: -Infiltration happens when water soaks into the soil from the ground level. It moves underground and moves between the soil and rocks.

Detailed explanation-3: -A recharge area is the place where water is able to seep into the ground and refill an aquifer because no confining layer is present. Recharge areas are necessary for a healthy aquifer.

Detailed explanation-4: -The area in which water enters an aquifer .

Detailed explanation-5: -This rock wall represents an “outcrop” (or location where the rock intersects the land surface) of an aquifer. The point where the ground water emerges into view is called a “seep” or “spring".
