Difference between Aquifer and Fossil water

Aquifer vs. Fossil water

An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock, rock fractures or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt). Fossil water or paleowater is an ancient body of water that has been contained in some undisturbed space, typically groundwater in an aquifer, for millennia.

Similarities between Aquifer and Fossil water

Aquifer and Fossil water have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alluvium, Artesian aquifer, Clay, Fresh water, Groundwater, Groundwater pollution, Groundwater recharge, Karst, Ogallala Aquifer, Overdrafting, Porosity.

Alluvium

Alluvium (from the Latin alluvius, from alluere, "to wash against") is loose, unconsolidated (not cemented together into a solid rock) soil or sediments, which has been eroded, reshaped by water in some form, and redeposited in a non-marine setting.

Artesian aquifer

An artesian aquifer is a confined aquifer containing groundwater under positive pressure.

Clay

Clay is a finely-grained natural rock or soil material that combines one or more clay minerals with possible traces of quartz (SiO2), metal oxides (Al2O3, MgO etc.) and organic matter.

Fresh water

Fresh water (or freshwater) is any naturally occurring water except seawater and brackish water.

Groundwater

Groundwater is the water present beneath Earth's surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations.

Groundwater pollution

Groundwater pollution (also called groundwater contamination) occurs when pollutants are released to the ground and make their way down into groundwater.

Groundwater recharge

Groundwater recharge or deep drainage or deep percolation is a hydrologic process where water moves downward from surface water to groundwater.

Karst

Karst is a topography formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum.

Ogallala Aquifer

The Ogallala Aquifer is a shallow water table aquifer surrounded by sand, silt, clay and gravel located beneath the Great Plains in the United States.

Overdrafting

Overdrafting is the process of extracting groundwater beyond the equilibrium yield of the aquifer.

Porosity

Porosity or void fraction is a measure of the void (i.e. "empty") spaces in a material, and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume, between 0 and 1, or as a percentage between 0% and 100%.
