Aqueous layers and its ingredients

Aquifer: refers to an organization that, in addition to having water, is able to transfer water from one point to another in case of hydraulic gradient. The inherent permeability coefficient of the aquifer constituents is about 0.01 Darcy or higher. Above or below aquifers may be an impermeable confining layer.

Aquitard: There are layers that contain water, but their hydraulic conductivity is low. If there is an aquifer layer between two aquifers, it is possible to transfer water from one aquifer to another aquifer even at a low speed. Therefore, aquifers are important in terms of feeding aquifers if they are located in its vicinity. But if a well is only dug in them, it will not produce water. In short, aquifers are layers with low permeability that can store water and transfer it from one aquifer to another at a low speed.

Aquiclude: Aquiclude refers to layers that can store water due to having many pores, but their water conductivity is so low that they cannot transfer water in large quantities. These water layers are usually placed as layers above and below the aquifers and create limiting boundaries for them. Clay layers are an example of Aquicludes. In fact, their hydraulic conductivity is so low that they can be considered closed or confined aqueous layers.

Aquifuge: Aquifuge refers to completely impenetrable layers that do not have interconnected pores and are therefore unable to transfer water from one point to another. If there is a layer of aquifer between two aquifers, the communication between them is completely cut off in terms of water exchange. A granite layer is an example of an aquifer. They usually lack water.
