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: -The saturated area beneath the water table is called an aquifer, and aquifers are huge storehouses of water. In our sand hole example, you have essentially dug a “well” that exposes the water table, with an aquifer beneath it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Underneath the water table is the saturated zone, where water fills all spaces between sediments. The saturated zone is bounded at the bottom by impenetrable rock.

Detailed explanation-4: -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".

Detailed explanation-5: -The water found below the water table is called groundwater.
