What is the upper surface of saturated aquifer called?
The top level of groundwater in an aquifer is called the water table.
How does an aquifer works?
Aquifer recharge occurs when surface water permeates through the pervious layers of soil to an impervious layer below the surface soil layers. This impervious layer may be clay or stone. Alternately the water may gain access to the aquifer when the bottom of a river of lake is connected to a porous zone which is either an aquifer or connects to an aquifer. These points of access to the quaifer are called recharge zones. Aquifers often low downwards along the gradient of the impervious zone and may, at some point, pass below other impervious zones and become unaffected by other water additions from the surface. Aquifers which do not flow are called perched and can dry up if water is removed from them and they have no source of recharge.
What is the aquifer zone that lies between the water table and earths surface called?
aeration zone

sorry about spelling - porous rocks
What is the difference between a confined aquifer and unconfined aquifer?
Confined acquifer:An aquifer which is sandwiched between two layers of less permeavle material is called confined aquifer.Unconfined acquifer:Aquifers having water table in it is called unconfined aquifer.
What is the aquifer zone that lies between the water table and the surface called?
aeration zone

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.

aeration zone
A body of porous rock through which groundwater moves is called an?
an aquifer
What is the name for rainwater that sinks into and is stored in the ground?
Groundwater
Conductor directly connected to the earth?
A conductor that is directly connected to the earth is called ground. One of its applications is through the determination of the field strength of surface wave radio transmissions.
