Step-by-step explanation:

Aquifers are porous and permeable formations that stores ground water. The ground water system is made up of mostly fresh water.

  • An aquifer acts as a reserve for ground water in the environment.
  • By passing through different formations, water that recharges them are purified.
  • This makes them fresh and mostly free from salt intrusion

An aquifer is able to store this fresh water and it is is good prospect for sourcing ground water.
