Answer:
Explanation:
When a water-bearing rock readily transmits water to wells and springs, it is called an aquifer. Wells can be drilled into the aquifers and water can be pumped out. Precipitation eventually adds water (recharge. For instance, rainfall that seeps into the ground (infiltration).) into the porous rock of the aquifer.

An aquifer is a body of porous rock or sediment saturated with groundwater. Groundwater enters an aquifer as precipitation seeps through the soil. It can move through the aquifer and resurface through springs and wells.
Infiltration: The process of seeping down of water into the ground is called infiltration. Groundwater thus gets recharged by this process.
