Saturation Zone
Saturation Zone
The saturated zone comprises of four categories:
1. Aquifer
2. Aquitard
3. Aquiclude
4. Aquifuge
Aquifer
A geological unit which can store and supply significant quantities of water. Deposits of sands and graved form good aquifers.
Aquitard
It is a formation through which only seepage is possible and thus the yield is insignificant compared to aquifer. A sandy layer is example of aquitard.
Aquiclude
Formation like clay which is highly porous but not permeable due to very small size of pores. A clay layer is example of aquiclude.
