Is a groundwater basin an aquifer?

Groundwater refers to water stored below the Earths surface in aquifers, which include porous layers of sand, soils and clay that holds water. Stacked layers of aquifers make up a groundwater basin.

What is the difference between the groundwater table and the aquifer?

A water table describes the boundary between water-saturated ground and unsaturated ground. Below the water table, rocks and soil are full of water. Pockets of water existing below the water table are called aquifers. An areas water table can fluctuate as water seeps downward from the surface.

Is groundwater and aquifers the same?

An aquifer is a body of rock and/or sediment that holds groundwater. Groundwater is the word used to describe precipitation that has infiltrated the soil beyond the surface and collected in empty spaces underground. There are two general types of aquifers: confined and unconfined.

How many groundwater basins are in California?

Layers of alluvial aquifers make up a groundwater basin. During an average year, Californias 515 groundwater basins and subbasins contribute approximately 41 percent toward the States total water supply.

What is a ground water basin?

A groundwater basin is defined as an area underlain by permeable materials capable of furnishing a significant supply of groundwater to wells or storing a significant amount of water. A groundwater basin is three-dimensional and includes both the surface extent and all of the subsurface fresh water yielding material.

What is an underground basin?

An aquifer is an underground basin containing water. The water in an aquifer can be extracted using groundwater wells and pumps. The water in aquifers originates from rain or melting snow that percolates into the ground to recharge the aquifers.

What is the problem with the water in Salinas?

Our greatest water quality challenges in and around the Salinas area are nitrate levels, MTBE, and seawater intrusion.
