Detailed explanation-1: -Sediment or rocks that are full of water are saturated. The water table sits on top of what experts call the zone of saturation, or phreatic zone. The area above the water table is called the vadose zone.
Detailed explanation-2: -water table, also called groundwater table, upper level of an underground surface in which the soil or rocks are permanently saturated with water.
Detailed explanation-3: -The upper surface of this zone of saturation is called the water table.
Detailed explanation-4: -Water table: The top of the saturated part of a water-table (also known as an unconfined) aquifer. Below the water table, pore spaces (or fractures) in the geologic media are filled with water. Above the water table, the pore spaces are filled with air.
Detailed explanation-5: -Groundwater is the saturated zone of soil/rock below the land surface.
