As simpley as possible........
Foundations of any construction require to be made on solid subterrain. Water can erode man-made materiels without providing any advanced warning of such erosion. A high water content in ground causes the main foundation materiels to become wet, then they will become impregnated. Concreate for instance can absorb some water, it that water is constant and the concreate basic without some form of water repelant the mix breaks down, even if there are steel rods added to improve the strength, these will erode through rust and finally fail.
Water levels (the water table) in and around a building are measured BEFORE construction starts. The higher the table (water level) the hard it is to dig down to a dry, first substrate,. Therefore a house near a river might have foundations 10 feed down, contain high levels of water repelant and have higher grade water membrane - This adds to the initial cost of the build compared to a location highup, away from the levels of the water
