What is an confined aquifer?

• a well in which water is under pressure especially : one in which the water flows to the surface naturally.

• solid rock underlying loose deposits such as soil or alluvium.

• an aquifer below the land surface that is saturated with water with layers of impermeable material are both above and below.

• water that collects on the surface of the ground.
