How is the permeability of the materials in an aquifer related to the water movement in the aquifer?
if the rock surrounding the water is permeable the water would be very mobile.but if the bedrock is impermeable the water wouldn't move much.
The more permeable a rock is the quicker the movement of water through it. Porosity - little spaces between grains (is important to permeability but is not enough. The pore spaces must also be connected to allow flow. THe more frequent the connetions the higher the rate of permeability.
