Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Water that enters a confined aquifer takes on higher atmospheric pressure and becomes groundwater that can be direct or indirect depending on the rainy rainfall that occurs. These rainy waters generally enclose and pass through several layers, which causes the water to not drain and remain stagnant. This type of aquifer, the pores that contain the geological formations present there, tend to saturate, causing the water pressure to decrease.
