38. A coupling between simulation models and optimization algorithms for management of coastal aquifers is presented.

39. Cities and towns, businesses and agriculture draw much of their water supplies from these Aquifers

40. Several of these Aquifers can be traced over large geographic areas and hence form principal Aquifers; significant sources of groundwater for potable water supplies and other agricultural or industrial interests in large portions of North Carolina.

41. Primary Aquifers are defined in the Division of Water Technical & Operational Guidance Series (TOGS) 2.1.3 as "highly productive Aquifers presently utilized as sources of water supply by major municipal water supply systems"

42. The Manawatu region of New Zealand consists largely of alluvial deposits which form extensive unconfined aquifers.

43. Boreholes are constructed into water-bearing formations (aquifers) using a mixture of screens and casings

44. The Maine Geological Survey used this data to produce Significant Sand and Gravel Aquifers Maps

45. Most of the ground water flow in carbonate Aquifers is along fractures or bedding planes

46. Aquifers can be drained by man-made wells or they can flow out naturally in springs.

47. These fractures or Aquifers are recharged only through precipitation and are therefore considered a renewable resource

48. Not all alluvial aquifers can provide the sustainable output of good quality water required for widespread urban use.

49. Exploration works have shown that there are Alveolate isolated aquifers in the loose deposits with rich groundwater

50. Foothills alluvia Aquifers in foothills alluvia occur on both sides of the Andean and Sierra ranges.

51. Aquifers are bodies of well-saturated rocks that make way for the easy movement of water

52. Aquifers are composed of multiple layers of porous rock, such as limestone or sandstone, that hold water

53. Maps will be divided into two types: (a) maps of surface waters and (b) maps of aquifers.

54. Open pit mining pollutes water courses and aquifers with toxic products and heavy metals from acid drainage.

55. Maps will be divided into two types: (a) maps of surface waters and (b) maps of aquifers

56. Unconfined Aquifers are directly connected to the surface and have water levels dependent on relatively constant recharge

57. The saturated zone beneath the water table is called an aquifer, and Aquifers are huge storehouses of water

58. Well-defined Aquifers consist of unconsolidated sedimentary rocks such as gravel and sand, which constitute beds of considerable thickness.

59. Meaning of Aquifers: An aquifer is a rock formation that has the capacity to host large quantities of groundwater

60. On water consumption, the report warned that many countries were rapidly depleting non-renewable sources such as sealed aquifers.

61. The Trinity aquifer is composed of three subdivisions; the Upper Trinity, Middle Trinity, and the Lower Trinity Aquifers.

70. Groundwater movement in sandstone Aquifers primarily is along bedding planes, but joints and fractures provide avenues for the vertical movement of water

71. Layers of rock that are porous and permeable enough to store water and let it flow through them easily are called aquifers.
