it has to be impermeable so it can line the aquifer without letting water straight through
An impermeable layer of rock that does not allow water to flow through is called an aquiclude or aquitard. These layers restrict the movement of groundwater, creating a barrier for water flow.
A layer underground that is impermeable and contains no void spaces for water or air is known as an impermeable layer or aquitard. This layer restricts the flow of water or gases through it due to its low permeability.
Aquitards slow down the movement of water underground because they have lower permeability compared to aquifers. They act as barriers that limit the flow of water, causing water to accumulate and creating pressure. This can impact the flow and storage of groundwater in an area.
Impermeable. The pores in solid rock are too small for water to flow through.
A material can be porous but also impermeable due to its surface structure. The molecular level can allow molecules of air to pass through, but not water molecules.many materials, such as GoreTex, has a surface structure, that at a molecular level can allow molecules of air to pass thru but not molecules of water. This way, you can be protected from falling rain, but also have a material that will "breathe" and wont keep you feeling muggy inside.
impermeable or non-porous.
Porous means 'with holes'. So non-porous means 'without holes'

An aquifer is a permeable underground layer that holds water and allows it to flow, while an aquitard is a dense, impermeable layer that restricts or inhibits the flow of water. Aquifers can store and transmit water easily, while aquitards act as barriers preventing water movement.

Believe it or not, some porous rocks are considered impermeable. No rock is completely impermeable, but some porous rocks like shale and pumice are mostly impermeable, because the pores are not interconnected, thus not allowing fluids or gases to pass through them. This is why shale makes a good cap-rock, and pumice floats instead of sinking.

No, an umbrella is not an example of a porous material. Porous materials have small holes or openings that allow liquids or gases to pass through them, while an umbrella is designed to be impermeable to water.

Yes, epoxy glue is generally impermeable to gases due to its dense and non-porous nature. This makes it a good choice for sealing applications where airtightness is important.
Highly impermeable layers such as clay or shale are referred to as an aquitard. While permeable sand and limestone that can transmitt large amounts of water to a well are referred to as an aquifer.
