The three correct statements that describe an aquifer are:

  1. underground water storehouse
  2. layer of permeable rocks
  3. can be recharged after being depleted

The statement "can be created only by digging or drilling" is incorrect, as aquifers can form naturally through geological processes, and "layer of impermeable rocks" is also not a correct description, as impermeable layers typically define the boundaries of an aquifer rather than being part of it.
