A perched aquifer is one
Answer: A
Correct answer: held above the main water table on a local impermeable bed
A perched aquifer sits on a lens of clay or other impermeable material within the zone of aeration, holding a local body of water with unsaturated ground beneath it. It is separated from the regional water table below by that unsaturated zone. Perched water bodies are typically small, seasonal and easily exhausted, and they are a common cause of a shallow well that dries up.
