An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, silt, or clay) from which groundwater can be usefully extracted using a water well.
Having said that examples are:
1) Edwards Aquifer in Texas
2) The Guaranà Aquifer in Brazil
3) The Great Artesian Basin in Australia
