Aquifers

• Aquifers are a body of rock which holds water, which is then exploited as a resource
• Porosity is the measure of the proportion of a rocks volume that is space and could therfore hold water
• Permeability is the measure of ease with which fluids can flow through rock, this is interconnected to space and size
• Aquifer recharge involves man-made and natural processes which are enhanced by humans that recharge water underground
• Most aquifers recharge when recipitatoon falls and infiltrates and percolate through soil and rock
• Ancient aquifers are saline, causing soil to get saline, this causes osmotic dehydration and the death of crops
• Over exploited aquifers can be because of ecological impacts, saltwater incursion, subsidence and reduced supplies
• Incursion js the movement of saline water into freshwater aquifers due to water tables lowering, reducing pressure and pulling seawater into aquifers

  P.S I wanna hold you like an aquifer holds water (Environmental Science rizz)
