Other definition:
An aquifer is a geologic formation(s) that is water bearing. A geological formation or structure that stores and/or transmits water, such as to Wells and springs. Use of the term is usually restricted to those water-bearing formations capable of yielding water in sufficient quantity to constitute a usable supply for people's uses.
