Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of these aquifers require a low permeability zone either above or below them to maintain their specific conditions. An artesian aquifer is a type of confined aquifer that is under pressure, requiring a low permeability layer above it to maintain pressure. A perched aquifer requires a low permeability layer below it to hold water above the main water table. A confined aquifer is sandwiched between two low permeability layers to keep it pressurized.
