What are aquifieres?

Aquifers are underground layers of water-bearing rock or sediment that can store and transmit groundwater. They are crucial for supplying water to wells and springs, playing a vital role in the water supply for agricultural, industrial, and domestic use. Aquifers can vary in size, depth, and composition, and their ability to recharge depends on factors like rainfall and geological conditions. Proper management of aquifers is essential to prevent over-extraction and maintain water quality.
