Subsurface water is categorized into the zone of aeration and the zone of saturation.
Aquifers vary based on their confinement status, geometry, and the geological formations they occupy.
Key properties of aquifers include porosity, specific yield, permeability, and hydraulic conductivity, which are essential for determining aquifer performance.
Water that exists below the earth's surface, encompassing both saturated and unsaturated zones.
A saturated, permeable geological formation capable of yielding significant water to wells and springs.
The percentage of a rock or soil's volume that is made up of pore spaces.
