Transparent Aquifers
Transparent aquifers are underground layers of water-bearing rock or sediment that allow water to flow freely. They are crucial for supplying fresh water to wells, springs, and rivers. The term "transparent" refers to the clarity of the water, which can be seen through the porous materials that make up the aquifer.
These aquifers can be found in various geological formations and are essential for maintaining ecosystems and supporting agriculture. Proper management of transparent aquifers is vital to prevent over-extraction and contamination, ensuring a sustainable water supply for communities and the environment.
