How important are aquifers?
An aquifer is a body of saturated rock through which water can easily move. It is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials from which groundwater can be extracted using a water well.

Many villages and even large cities draw their water supply from wells in aquifers.
