TMG Groundwater Aquifers and Mountain Springs Regolith (weathered-and-fractured) aquifer Fractured-rock aquifer Aquitard WRC Eco Project

Groundwater Unconfined and Confined Aquifers Unconfined aquifer – Aquifer overlain by an unsaturated (vadose) zone or a surface water body. Its upper surface is the water table Confined (or artesian) aquifer – Aquifer overlain by a low-permeability unit (confining layer). A confined aquifer does not have a water table, only a potentiometric surface which is defined by water levels in boreholes under pressure. WRC Eco Project
