Question:
Which of the following formations does not contain any groundwater?
Which of the following formations does not contain any groundwater?
Show Hint
Remember: - Aquifuge: No water storage or transmission. - Aquifer: High permeability for storage and flow.
Updated On: Jan 7, 2025
- Aquifer
- Aquifuge
- Aquiclude
- Aquitard
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
An aquifuge is a geological formation that does not contain or transmit groundwater because it is entirely impermeable. Examples include solid granite or dense, unfractured bedrock.
Other terms:
• Aquifer: Stores and transmits groundwater.
• Aquiclude: Stores water but does not transmit it.
• Aquitard: Allows limited water transmission.
