It is where a layer of underground water is sandwiched between layers of sediment and rock.
A non-confined aquifer is an aquifer where the water table is at atmospheric pressure, allowing water to flow freely in and out of the aquifer. This type of aquifer is typically located close to the surface and is recharged by precipitation. Non-confined aquifers are more susceptible to contamination compared to confined aquifers.
an aquifer
The Ogallala Aquifer in the United States is a large underground aquifer spanning eight states and providing water for irrigation and domestic use. It is an important source of water for agriculture in the Midwest.
The flow rate of water through an aquifer is influenced by factors such as the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer material, the hydraulic gradient (difference in water levels), the porosity of the aquifer, and the thickness of the aquifer. Additionally, the presence of fractures or faults in the rock formations can also affect the flow rate of water.
an underground layer of rock that can hold water is an aquifer.

Northern Aquifer
The ten largest aquifers in the United States include the Ogallala Aquifer, the Central Valley Aquifer, the Great Basin Aquifer, the Floridan Aquifer, the Columbia Plateau Aquifer, the Gulf Coast Aquifer, the High Plains Aquifer, the Santa Fe Aquifer, the Edwards Aquifer, and the Cape Cod Aquifer. The Ogallala Aquifer is particularly notable for its vast size and significant agricultural contributions. Each aquifer plays a crucial role in providing water for irrigation, drinking, and industrial use across their respective regions.
Stratified rocks have a defined horizontal layering.
The word aquifer does not have an antonym.
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.
An aquifer is an underground river.
Simple columnar epithelium cells will heal faster than stratified squamous cells. The stratified squamous cells rarely have contact with blood.
Memphis Sand aquifer and some water comes from the Fort Pillow Sand aquifer.
The aquifer cannot be recharged fast enough
A couple of synonyms for stratified are flaky, laminated, or stratiform.
