Detailed explanation-1: -The area where water fills the aquifer is called the saturated zone (or saturation zone). The top of this zone is called the water table.

Detailed explanation-2: -Groundwater. Groundwater is water that has infiltrated the ground to fill the spaces between sediments and cracks in rock. Groundwater is fed by precipitation and can resurface to replenish streams, rivers, and lakes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Groundwater level is a term that is used in a relatively loose way, normally referring to the level, either below ground or above ordnance datum, at which soil or rock is saturated. This is also referred to as the water table and represents the top of the saturated zone.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aquifer. The groundwater stored between the layers of hard rock below the water table is known as acquifer.

Detailed explanation-5: -Groundwater is the water found underground in the cracks and spaces in soil, sand, and rock. It is held in aquifers-permeable water-bearing rock and/or sediment-and can be extracted through wells or bubbles up naturally through a spring or is discharged into lakes or streams.
