Best Answer

•Sandstone retains only a small part of the intergranularpore space that was present before the rock was consolidated.

•Compaction and cementation greatly reduce the primary pore space.

•Secondary openings, such as joints and fractures, along with bedding planes, typically transmit most of the groundwater in bedrock sandstone aquifers.•

The hydraulic conductivity of cemented sandstone aquifers is low to

moderate.

•Transmission is primarily through fractures although primary porosity may continue to contribute to storage.

•Because bedrock sandstones extend over large areas, these aquifers can often provide large amounts of water.
