Answer:

The properties that make a good aquifer are those that increase the storage of water (porosity) and increase the flow of water (permeability) within that layer. Porosity is the proportion of empty space in a rock. Permeability is a measure of the ease with which liquids and gases can pass through a rock. All rocks have pore spaces and fractures; the greater the percentage of pores or fractures and openings in the total volume of the rock, the greater the porosity
