What three major layers does rainwater touch in order to reach an aquifer?
1.surface layer 2.zone of aeration 3.zone of saturation
What are the areas where all of the pores in the rock are filled with water?
This occurs where there is total interconnected porosity and the material in question is below the phreatic surface / water table. If the material (usually a rock or soil) allows the easy flow of water (i.e. it is permeable) then it may also be known as an aquifer.
What is zone of saturation?
Another name for the zone of saturation is phreatic zone.They both describe the area in an aquifer, which is the underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock or some other forms of unconsolidated material such as sand and gravel, where water can be extracted using a well.Related links and further reading:Click here for further information on the zones.Click here for further information on aquifers.Related video:
Is the zone of saturation above the zone of aeration?
No. THe zone of saturation is below the zone of aeration.
Is the zone of aeration above the zone of saturation?
Yes, the zone of aeration is above the zone of saturation.
An aquifer is water stored in the .?
ground zone of saturation
A zone of saturation that is used by inhabitants as a water supply is called?
An aquifer is a zone of saturation that is used by inhabitants as a water supply. An aquifer is a body of saturated rock through which water can easily move through.
Which is the layer underground where there are no empty spaces for a water or air to fill in?
Impermeable Rock

Define the following saturation zone unsaturated zone aquifer recharge surface water discharge and remediation?
Its when a Aquifer recharges bc the surface has to much water realeasing the discharge of water.

What is an area where waters travels down to become part of an aquifer?
For water to recharge an aquifer, it must pass down through a zone of aeration into the zone of saturation, where the water is stored. The "line" that separates the two zones can be said to be the level of the water table.

What is the area immediately below the water table?
The water surface is called the Piezometric Surface - though I invite clarification as I believe this has a definite meaning within hydrology and geology. The water-bearing formation is the Aquifer or Saturation Zone generally, the Phreas in karst hydrology/geology.
Is the zone of aeration above the zone of saturation?
Yes, the zone of aeration is above the zone of saturation.
