GEOLOGY

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: -An underground boundary where the zone of aeration and the zone of saturation meet is called the Water Table.

Detailed explanation-3: -The saturated zone, a zone in which all the pores and rock fractures are filled with water, underlies the unsaturated zone. 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-4: -A water table describes the boundary between water-saturated ground and unsaturated ground. Below the water table, rocks and soil are full of water. Pockets of water existing below the water table are called aquifers. An area’s water table can fluctuate as water seeps downward from the surface.

Detailed explanation-5: -water table, also called groundwater table, upper level of an underground surface in which the soil or rocks are permanently saturated with water. The water table separates the groundwater zone that lies below it from the capillary fringe, or zone of aeration, that lies above it.
