A town pumps large volumes of water from their aquifer, and relies on precipitation to constantly recharge (add water to) the aquifer so that there will be enough water for the town's needs. Would this scenario be most plausible if the town's aquifer is a confined aquifer or an unconfined aquifer? Explain.
