Question

Jake said that a well should be drilled in aquifer X because it is less porous. Alex said that a well should be drilled in aquifer Y because it is more permeable.
Who made the most appropriate decision for the placement of the well?

Answer 1

Answer:

Aquifers must be both permeable and porous and include such rock types as sandstone, conglomerate, fractured limestone and unconsolidated sand and gravel.

So, Alex decision for the placement of the well is the most appropriate.

So, Alex decision that a well should be drilled in aquifer Y because it is more permeable is acceptable and appropriate.
