Aquitardifer: A New Hydrogeologic Term for Geologic Materials with both Aquitard and Aquifer Properties

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We propose that a new term, aquitardifer, be added to the hydrogeologic nomenclature. Aquitardifer, a blend of the terms aquitard and aquifer, accounts for geologic materials that have properties of both as traditionally defined. Several examples of aquitardifers are provided, as is justification for and applicability of the term.
