Aquifuge

/ˈækwɪfjuːdʒ/ noun

Definition

A type of rock or geological material that prevents water from passing through it; water-repelling rock.

Etymology

From Latin 'aqua' (water) and 'fugere' (to flee or avoid), created in geological terminology to describe impermeable rock layers that water cannot penetrate.

Kelly Says

Aquifuges are the opposite of aquifers—while aquifers hold water underground like nature's water bottles, aquifuges are like clay barriers that say 'water shall not pass!' Geologists use this to understand underground water flow.
