Detailed explanation-1: -The water table is the boundary between the unsaturated zone and the saturated zone underground. Below the water table, groundwater fills any spaces between sediments and within rock.
Detailed explanation-2: -The top of the saturated zone is called the water table (Diagram 1). The water table may be just below or hundreds of feet below the land surface.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -ZONE OF SATURATION: The area of a water-bearing formation in which all spaces between soil particles and rock structures are filled with water. ZONE OF AERATION: The area of an unconfined aquifer above the water table where the pore spaces among soil particles and rock formations are filled with air.
