there are exactly 273 aquifers in the world.
hey it takes a century for aquifers to refill. a century is a 100 years
underground aquifers
An aquifer is most likely to be contaminated at its recharge zones. These are the areas in which water is directly infiltrated into the aquifer.
They may be large. The Great Artesian Basin aquifer covers about 1.7x106 km2. This aquifer may underlie more than 20% of the Australian continent. It is very important for agriculture and pastoralism, and is nationally managed.In 2009 fracking for Coal Seam Gas introduced noxious chemicals into a Queensland portion of the acquifer, and this is not regarded lightly.There are major and important aquifers on all the continents.[Lake Vostok in the Antarctic lies under >3000m of ice, but its surface is about 500m below sea level. Of course, if the ice were removed, the isostatic rebound of the landmass may rise the lake above sea level. But true aquifers will be in that continent.]
Arizona has a number of natural water resources. These include groundwater found in aquifers, the Colorado River, and other lakes and streams found in Arizona.
No. Aquifers are located in many places around the world. Anywhere there is underground water that can be tapped and re-filled by water seeping through the soil is an aquifer.

Aquifers are found underground.
Aquifers lose their porosity and thus making it not aquifers anymore.
Wells tap into aquifers.
underground under the water's surface
Practices that are unnecessarily harmful to the environment. An example of this, that was widespread in the world, and practiced for many years: Dumping raw sewage into the nation's aquifers.
Aquifers are made of permeable rock layers
Wetlands contribute to the refilling of aquifers
49% of the area of Germany has porous aquifers, partly with high yields. About 12% is made of fractured aquifers and some 6% karst aquifers. Approximately one-third of the country has only local aquifers with low potential.
No, there is no aquifers in Texes.
