Where does groundwater collect?
Groundwater is stored in, and moves slowly through, moderately to highly permeable rocks called aquifers. The word aquifer comes from the two Latin words, aqua, or water, and ferre, to bear or carry. Aquifers literally carry water underground. An aquifer may be a layer of gravel or sand, a layer of sandstone or cavernous limestone, a rubbly top or base of lava flows, or even a large body of massive rock, such as fractured granite, that has sizable cracks and fissures. In terms of storage at any one instant in time, groundwater is the largest single supply of fresh water available for use by humans.

What layer is permeable?
A fully permeable layer is a layer that allows all substances to pass through. A partially permeable membrane is a membrane that only allows some substances to infiltrate.

What is it when Water within a porous and permeable sedimentary rock layer that is bounded only below by a non-permeable sedimentary rock layer is called?
The permeable rock bearing the groundwater is an aquifer. If the impermeable rock layer at it's base (known as an aquiclude) is of limited lateral extent such that the groundwater level away from this area is much lower, then it may be known as a perched water table. Please see the related link for more information.
What is permeable barrier?
Permeable layers allow either all or only certain things in and out. The ground is permeable because it allows water to sink through it. Skin is also permeable because it takes in oxygen and liquids but it keeps other foreign objects out. The skin can let out waste by sweating.

What do you dig to find water?
You can dig a simple well to reach groundwater. You can dig really deep to find an aquifer, a permeable rock layer that holds underground water.
