"aquifer = An areally extensive body of saturated permeable material that will yield significant quantities
of water to wells and springs. An aquifer includes the unsaturated part of the permeable body.
Aquifers may be classed as unconfined or confined, depending upon the presence or absence of a
water table. An aquifer may also be called a water-bearing stratum. Unconsolidated alluvial
deposits of sand and gravel, porous sandstones, or fractured limestones are examples of
water-bearing formations"

PHREATIC AQUIFER
Same as unconfined aquifer.

UNCONFINED AQUIFER
A geologic formation of permeable material that has a water table as the upper surface."
