Aquifer

A permeable body of saturated material through which groundwater can flow and which yields significant volumes of water to wells and springs.

Permeability

The ability of a material, such as rock or soil, to allow fluids to pass through it, often measured in terms of the ease with which water can flow.

Porosity

The measure of a rock's ability to hold water, determined by the volume of voids or spaces within the rock.
