Step 1
To define:
Aquifer or transmitter of water.

Step 2
An aquifer is defined as the water bearing strata under the soil surface from which ground water can be easily extracted. This is the strata with high permeability and high porosity, this implies a lot of ground water can be extracted and accumulated in this strata.
