GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The water table is the boundary between the unsaturated zone and the saturated zone underground.

Detailed explanation-2: -The upper surface of this water-filled area, or “zone of saturation", is called the water table.

Detailed explanation-3: -The upper surface of this zone of saturation is called the water table. The saturated zone beneath the water table is called an aquifer, and aquifers are huge storehouses of water. What you are looking at in this picture is a “well” that exposes the water table, with an aquifer beneath it.

Detailed explanation-4: -UNCONFINED AQUIFER: An aquifer in which the upper boundary is the top of the water table. PERMEABLE LAYER: A portion of the aquifer that contains porous rock materials that allow water to penetrate freely.

Detailed explanation-5: -zone of saturation, saturated zone) is the area in an aquifer, below the water table, in which all pores, fractures, and cavities (including karst caves) are filled with water.
