Click on elements of the model or select from the tabs below Sandy plainsTertiary to Quaternary loamy and sandy plains, composed of particles such as sand, can contain unconfined, unconsolidated sedimentary aquifers where groundwater is stored and transmitted through intergranular voids between particles. Unconsolidated sedimentary aquifers in sandy plains may provide a range of ecosystems with water required to support their plant and animal communities, ecological processes and delivery of ecosystem services.
