Abstract
We propose that a new term, aquitardifer, be added to the hydrogeologic nomenclature. Aquitardifer, a blend of the terms aquitard and aquifer, accounts for geologic materials that have properties of both as traditionally defined. Several examples of aquitardifers are provided, as is justification for and applicability of the term.
