GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -National Geographic defines a water table as the boundary between water-saturated ground and unsaturated ground. Well beneath the ground, at various depths depending on geography, topography and weather conditions, pockets of water, called aquifers, exist.

Detailed explanation-4: -(a) Aquifer is groundwater stored between layers of hard rock above the water table.

Detailed explanation-5: -Three examples of the water table aquifers are the Ogallala aquifer in the United States of America, the Great Artesian Basin in Australia, and the Lotikipi Basin Aquifer in Kenya.
