GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An aquifer is a body of porous rock or sediment saturated with groundwater. Groundwater enters an aquifer as precipitation seeps through the soil. It can move through the aquifer and resurface through springs and wells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ground water is the water located underground that saturates the spaces between alluvial material (sand, gravel, silt, clay) or the crevices or fractures in rocks.

Detailed explanation-3: -When a water-bearing rock readily transmits water to wells and springs, it is called an aquifer. Wells can be drilled into the aquifers and water can be pumped out. Precipitation eventually adds water (recharge) into the porous rock of the aquifer.

Detailed explanation-4: -Groundwater is the water found underground in the cracks and spaces in soil, sand, and rock. It is held in aquifers-permeable water-bearing rock and/or sediment-and can be extracted through wells or bubbles up naturally through a spring or is discharged into lakes or streams.

Detailed explanation-5: -Groundwater is water that exists underground in saturated zones beneath the land surface. The upper surface of the saturated zone is called the water table.
