What is an Aquifer?

This video describes the basic characteristics of two types of aquifers and identifies four types of geological units that make up many of the aquifers in the US. We compare and contrast unconfined and confined aquifers and show the distribution of aquifer systems composed of sand and gravel, sandstone, carbonates (limestone), and fractured igneous and metamorphic rocks. On the basis of the maps we show you, what is the most likely composition of your local aquifer system?

Thank you "GeoScience Videos" because now I understand aquifers.

Very helpful, Finally I know the artesian well.

This video is very helpful because I watch this video before 5 min of my 3 mid semester exam so thanks for it and make more important video ❤️. :(

Thanks for this video, needed it for homework LOL

[mantashaparveen]

watching it from India ... nice explanation and illustration, but u must add the overall word data along with your country's

[pikathemimikyu]

I wonder if there is anyone watching this not here for school purposes...

Every moment I continue living is a moment of continued unending agony.

Every second blurs into infinity, until every moment is an eternity of ceaseless pain.

Studying this for my dwarf fortress skills

Great video! I only have one question. Are confined aquafirs always underneath unconfined aquafirs? is it just most of the time? sometimes?

[danielugbome]

Nice one. How effective is Artificial aquifer?.

[ahmedjabbar]

what is the thickness of unconfined aquifer ? and thickness of confined bed? or the distance between unconfined aquifer and confined aquifer? and the thickness of confined aquifer?

I suppose my ground borwel water is aquifer.
The laboratory testing results show.
1. pH:7.01
2. Tds : 314
3.Alkailine : 208
4. Total hardness:135

Why are we watching this?
I was searching if Florida homes had basements. What about you?

[JAGUAR_CRAFT]

Why does this look like a video are required to watch at school

[ujjalaruh]

it is s very useful in my board exams

[thehurrikaine]

What? 😂 I woke up, and this was the video playing. #SleepyGang

[OssamabinKenny]

So aquifers are resources of aqua?
Makes sense 👍

[adam]

Can you talk more about florida's aquifers

[policypete]

How could you cover US aquifers without mentioning the Ogallala, which runs from the northern plains down to Texas? Shouldn't you cover a few topical issues, such as how much aquifer subsidence (and loss of capacity) can California expect if it keeps pumping out more and more water from the central valley aquifers?

I'm stupid, I don't get this
