The lead section of this article is concise and easy to comprehend. It briefly describes the topic while giving a layout of what the article will cover. The content following the lead section is relevant and well-covered, giving the article a neutral tone as the article is stating what is known about the subject, not making an opinion piece. There are many sources that help to compile all knowledge on the subject and these sources include images that help the reader understand the subject. For example, when explaining types of aquifers, pictures are included. In addition, the article is well organized by topic, allowing the reader to understand the content and article easily. The talk page is also well-developed as it editors and readers have added, asking questions and making edits in a respectful way. Overall, this article is very helpful, albeit a bit dense.
