Answer :
What are the two zones of an aquifer?
A.) Capillary fringe and water table.
A.) Capillary fringe and water table.
The two zones of an aquifer are the zone of saturation and the zone of aeration, with the water table acting as the boundary between them.
The two zones of an aquifer are the zone of saturation and the zone of aeration, which is also known as the unsaturated zone. The zone of saturation, where all the pores are filled with water, is the area where groundwater is stored and is below the water table. The zone of aeration (or unsaturated zone) lies above the zone of saturation and contains both air and water within its pores. The water table acts as the boundary between these two zones.
Transmissivity is a term that describes the rate at which water is transmitted through an aquifer, and it is a function of both the hydraulic conductivity and the thickness of the aquifer. Water movement in an aquifer also includes the capillary fringe, which is part of the unsaturated zone directly above the water table where water moves upward due to capillarity.
