Which of the following are characteristics of an unconfined aquifer. Select all that apply. Pore spaces are 100% filled with water. An artesian well results from digging into this aquifer. This aquifer is sandwiched between two impermeable layers. This aquifer can reach the ground surface if the water table depth is already shallow

Groundwater Flow

The term groundwater refers to the water which is found beneath the earth's surface. Pores present in the soil and rocks with fractures make a passage for rainwater to enter the earth's surface and deposit as groundwater. The flow nature and direction of groundwater under the earth's surface directly impacts the strength and compressibility of the soil, which reflects its ability to support structural loads.
