Describe the features of a partially filled aquifer layer. What will be an ideal response?


Below ground, some rocks layers can contain water. In the zone of aeration, the pore spaces only
contain air; in the zone of saturation, the pore spaces contain water. The water table is the surface that
separates the zone of aeration from the underlying zone of saturation.
