Generally, it is a geological formation that holds or transfers water. Most often to wells, springs, etc. It can be above or below ground. Above ground, many bodies of water stored behind dams could be referred to as an aquifer. Below ground, there can be natural formations that naturally store ground water and can be tapped with wells to provide drinking water. All aquifers have a rate at which the water can be tapped and still replenish it's levels. These vary for all of them. Lake Meade behind the Hoover Dam is a good example of an aquifer being tapped above the rate at which it can replenish it's levels.
