paineakviferiin
Paineakviferiin, also known as a confined aquifer, is a groundwater aquifer that is overlain by a confining layer of impermeable rock or sediment. This confining layer, often called aquiclude or aquitard, prevents or significantly restricts the movement of water into and out of the aquifer. As a result, the water within a confined aquifer is under pressure, often greater than atmospheric pressure.
The water in a confined aquifer is typically replenished by recharge areas located far away, where the
Confined aquifers are important sources of fresh water in many regions. However, they can be vulnerable to
