Detailed explanation-1: -Underneath the water table is the saturated zone, where water fills all spaces between sediments. The saturated zone is bounded at the bottom by impenetrable rock. The shape and height of the water table is influenced by the land surface that lies above it; it curves up under hills and drops under valleys.
Detailed explanation-2: -The water table rises during the rainy season and lowers during summer.
Detailed explanation-3: -Heavy rains or melting snow may increase recharge and cause the water table to rise. An extended period of dry weather may decrease recharge and cause the water table to fall.
Detailed explanation-4: -What happens when there is a drought? Although groundwater levels do not rise and fall as rapidly as at the surface, over time the water table will rise during wet periods and fall during droughts.
