Aquifer describes an underground layer of porous and permeable rock that holds water. An aquifer is a section of permeable rock or silt that contains groundwater.
When it rains, groundwater percolates through the soil and enters an aquifer. It passes through the aquifer before coming to the surface through springs and wells. Rainwater that has permeated below-ground soil and pooled in voids is referred to as "groundwater."
If we utilize groundwater more quickly than it can regenerate itself, it might run out. Recharging describes the process through which precipitation replenishes aquifers. Aquifer depletion has risen mostly as a result of increasing agricultural irrigation. Groundwater is naturally filtered by aquifers by being made to travel via tiny pores and between sediments, which removes contaminants from the water. But it's possible that not all of the pollutants will be removed by this natural filtration process.
