Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, The level of groundwater is called water table.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pumping water level: The pumping water level is the distance from the land surface (or measuring point) to the water in the well while it is pumping. The time that the pumping water level was measured is usually recorded also.
Detailed explanation-3: -The basic principle is rather straightforward: With the prior knowledge that groundwater is present and close to the surface, a hole is dug until the groundwater level is reached. Inflowing groundwater is collected and can be extracted with the help of pumps or buckets (see also manual pumping and mechanised pumping).
