Guy Bray Feb 11, 2012:
Groundwater "Nappe" can mean many things, and not only in geology, but the context here clearly indicates that it is groundwater. But check the GDT: there are 10 definitions of "nappe captive".
cchat Feb 10, 2012:
nappe = aquifer Doesn't "nappe" mean "nappe phréatique" and therefore "aquifer"?

"nappe captive" = "confined aquifer"
