Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If you hit water at a much more shallow level than expected, it is likely that you have found a perched aquifer. A perched aquifer is an aquifer that is located above the main water table and is separated from it by an impermeable layer. When the impermeable layer is punctured, water from the perched aquifer can flow out.
