The area where an aquifer is present at or near the land surface – where it “crops out.

the emergence of a stratum, vein or rock at the surface.
an outcrop is any appearance of rock at the surface of the earth.
the cropping out of subsurface rock stratum,(bedrock), exposed at or near the surface of the ground

Any place where bedrock is visible on the surface of the Earth.

The outcrop is the edge or surface of a mineral deposit or sedimentary bed that appears upon the surface.
Bedrock that protrudes through the soil.
The exposed portion of a buried layer of rock.

a segment of bedrock exposed to the atmosphere.
That part of a geologic formation that appears at the surface of the Earth.
Outcrop is a geological term referring to the appearance of bedrock or superficial deposits exposed at the surface of the Earth. In most places the bedrock or superficial deposits are covered by a mantle of soil and vegetation and cannot be seen or examined closely. However in places where the overlying cover is removed through erosion, the rock may be exposed, or crop out.
