Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A water-bearing rock stratum is called an aquifer. An aquiclude is a non-porous layer of rock or sediment that does not allow water to pass through it. The zone of aeration is the layer of soil above the water table that is not completely saturated with water. Field capacity refers to the maximum amount of moisture that soil can hold against gravity. The water table is the level below which the ground is saturated with water.
