An aquifer is a geologic formation, a group of formations, or a part of a formation that contains sufficient saturated permeable material to yield significant quantities of water to groundwater wells and springs.

The Northern Rocky Mountain Intermontane Basins aquifer system is composed largely of unconsolidated sand lying under western Montana, Idaho and a small part of Washington. [2] These shallow aquifers are not connected as a whole, body of water, but narrow glacial deposits unified by a common geologic history.

California aquifers, excerpted from map in Ground Water Atlas of the United States (USGS, 2000): Lavender is "other" for "rocks that generally yield less than 10 gal/min to wells"; dark green-blue (3) are the California coastal basin aquifers, bright-turquoise blue (7) is the Central Valley aquifer system, flat cobalt-blue (1) down south is Basin and Range aquifers
The Ogallala Aquifer accounts for nearly a third of the crop and animal production in the country. But we’re using too much of its water.
The aquifer system is on the Columbia Plateau, contained within the Cascades, Rocky Mountains, Okanogan Highlands, and the Blue Mountains. [1] These aquifers are bounded on the bottom by a layer of Miocene basaltic rock that can be up to 15,000 ft thick. [2] The primary aquifers in the system are shallow, and unconfined. [3]
