How does a water table occur?
water falling as a precipitation will soak into the ground and continue down until it reaches a zone where the rocks are saturated. This is called the water table. However, it is possible that in some locations a layer of impervious rocks will occur above the regional; water table and where this happens the water collets above this at a level higher than the regional water table. This is called a perched water table.
