Storm water flowing down the plateau edges reaches sand-blocked fossil valley bottoms where it accumulates into small pools and subsequently recharges the underlying aquifer. This hydrographic feature, called endoreism, is ubiquitous in this region : it is induced by gentle slopes, aeolian sand deposits and the small annual number of rainfall events. 4, record 1, English, - endorheism

Bounded aquifers. Pumping tests sometimes have to be performed near the boundary of an aquifer. A boundary may be either a recharging boundary(e. g. a river or a canal) or a barrier boundary(e. g. an impermeable valley wall). When an aquifer boundary is located within the area influenced by a pumping test, the general assumption that the aquifer is of infinite areal extent is no longer valid. 2, record 2, English, - bounded%20aquifer
