Explain how water can enter and leave an aquifer (see fig.).     FIGURE  An aquifer is a porous or cracked layer of rock. Impervious rock layers (aquicludes) keep water within a confined aquifer. Pressure from uphill makes an artesian well flow freely. Pumping can create a cone of depression, which leaves shallower wells dry.
