| The terms aquifer, aquiclude, and aquitard are relative in a carbonate sequence because of variability in bedding, jointing, and fracturing. |
| Among the strata, there are two confined aquifers, between which lies an aquiclude that is partially missing. |
| Water table in the area lies below the top aquiclude and hence developed a favorable confined condition for the main aquifer. |
| A thick or extensive aquiclude can and does exclude further penetration of salt water under such circumstances. |
| They form more or less continuous aquiclude units permitting only limited and mainly vertical groundwater flow. |
| The Pliocene consists of interbeded red brown clay, Paleonile, which acts as an aquiclude for the overlying Quaternary aquifers. |
