Los acuíferos son estratos de roca permeable que contienen agua y se dividen en dos tipos: los confinados y los no confinados.
Un acuífero confinado posee un manto superior impermeable, por lo que las lluvias locales no le afectan.
Los no confinados se recargan con el agua de lluvia, ríos y lagos. Su velocidad de recarga está influenciada por la permeabilidad de las rocas y suelos de las capas superiores.
