The bedrock below an aquifer is called the water table. For example if a hole is dug into sand, very wet and saturated sand at shallow depth this would represent the aquifer and the level to which the water rises in this hole would be called the water table.

Is aquifer found below or above bedrock?

Aquifers are typically found below the bedrock. Bedrock acts as a barrier that holds the water in the aquifer, with layers of soil, sand, and gravel above the bedrock helping to recharge the aquifer with water.


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 below bedrock?

Below bedrock, there is typically more bedrock, as bedrock is the solid rock layer that lies beneath soil or other loose material on the Earth's surface. It is the lowest point of the Earth's crust.


What do we call water that is found below ground?

If it is below the water table, it is an aquifer. Otherwise I think it is just called an underground resevoir.


Is there anything below bedrock?

In Minecraft, there is typically nothing below bedrock as it marks the bottom of the world and serves as an unbreakable barrier. Players cannot mine or travel through bedrock to access any further depths below it.


What type of aquifer is bounded above and below by relatively impermeable beds?

A confined aquifer, also known as an artesian aquifer, is bounded above and below by impermeable layers of rock or sediment which prevent water from easily entering or leaving the aquifer. This creates high pressure within the aquifer, causing water to flow upward when a well is drilled into it.


What is when the pressure of rock layers pressing on an aquifer from above and below squeezes water up to the earths surface its called?

This process is called artesian flow. It occurs when the pressure from surrounding rock layers forces water in an aquifer to rise above the level of the aquifer, sometimes to the Earth's surface, without the need for pumping.
