Question

The water bearing layer of the earth is __________.

Answer 1

• An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock, rock fractures or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt). Groundwater can be extracted using a water well.
• The Ogallala, also known as the High Plains Aquifer, is one of the largest underground freshwater sources in the world. It underlies an estimated 174,000 square miles of the Central Plains and holds as much water as Lake Huron.
  
• The study of water flow in aquifers and the characterization of aquifers is called hydrogeology.
  
• Hence The water-bearing layer of the earth is Aquifer.
