true

Explanation:

True

Saturated sand, unsaturated sand, saturated clay and saturated gravel form unconfined and confined aquifer and confining layers.

Aquifer are nothing but water bearing stratum of permeable rock sand or gravel. Aquifers can be found at various depth. saturated means the pressure head of water is greater than the atmospheric pressure. And unsaturated is when water head is less than the atmospheric head.
