GEOLOGY

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

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Correct! An underground boundary where the zone of aeration and the zone of saturation meet is called the Water Table.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The zone of saturation can be found anywhere between a few feet to over thousands of feet below the surface. It holds most of the world’s fresh drinking water, which can be accessed from springs, rivers and wells.
