The water table represents the surface of the saturated zone and the separation of the saturated zone, in which all the rock openings are loaded with water, to the unsaturated zone. The water table is not in fixed position.
2. Lens formed aquitards that exist in the subsurface. They prevent downward penetration to the regional water tab.
3. Porosity is a measure of how much of a rock is open space. Permeability is a measure of the simplicity with which a liquid (water) can travel through a porous rock.
4. An aquifer is a rock that will hold and yield water. Good aquifers include sand, gravel, sandstone, conglomerates, and fractured rock.
5. A confined aquifer is sandwiched between impermeable layers, water moves relatively slow while an unconfined
