GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The water table sits on top of what experts call the zone of saturation, or phreatic zone. The area above the water table is called the vadose zone.

Detailed explanation-2: -The upper surface of this water-filled area, or “zone of saturation", is called the water table. The saturated area beneath the water table is called an aquifer, and aquifers are huge storehouses of water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eventually the water reaches a depth where all openings in soil or rock are filled with water; this is called the saturated zone. The water in the saturate zone is called groundwater. The top of the saturated zone is called the water table.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The water table is the upper surface of the zone of saturation.
