Question	Answer
Pontentiometric surface	The level to which water will rise in an aquifer
Natural Recharge	The Filling of Groundwater aquifers by rain or snow-melt percolating into the ground and saturating porous rocks
Confined Aquifer	An aquifer situated below an aquitard, experiencing high hydrostatic pressure
Aquifer	a permeable rock which is capable of holding and transmitting groundwater
Groundwater	Water held below the water table in an aquifer
Water Table	The upper surface of the zone of saturation in a permeable rock
Abstraction	The removal of water from rivers, lakes and groundwater for human use
Live Aquifer	An aquifer which is replenished regularly by water inputs from the recharge surface area
Infiltration	The movement of water from rain or snow-melt into the soil
Artesian Basin	A Basin Structure containing water under hydrostatic pressure in a aquifer
Hydrostatic Pressure	The Fluid Pressure exerted by the underlying column of water in a body of water when at rest
Artificial Recharge	Adding Water to an aquifer through human effort
Aquitard	An impermeable layer of rock incapable of transmitting economic quantities of water
Cone of Depression	An area below or around a well, where the water table has been permanently lowered due to over abstraction of that well
Fossil Aquifer	Aquifers which do not receive regular recharge due to to little precipitation in the area
Unconfined Aquifer	An aquifer not situated below and aquitard with the same hydrostatic pressure as the atmosphere
