im pretty sure... :) srry i had the same question

Its when a Aquifer recharges bc the surface has to much water realeasing the discharge of water.
What three major layers rainwater touch in order to reach an aquifer?
1.surface layer 2.zone of aeration 3.zone of saturation
Groundwater is found below the surface in the zone of .?
saturation
What is the water within the zone of saturation?
Groundwater
Which is the layer underground where there are no empty spaces for a water or air to fill in?
Impermeable Rock
What is the area immediately below the water table?
The water surface is called the Piezometric Surface - though I invite clarification as I believe this has a definite meaning within hydrology and geology. The water-bearing formation is the Aquifer or Saturation Zone generally, the Phreas in karst hydrology/geology.
How are the water table and the zone of saturation related?
The zone of saturation and the water table share two zones of ground water.
What is is the upper boundary of the zone of saturation called?
This is known as the phreatic surface or water table.
What divides the Aeration zone and Saturation zone?
The water table is the very top layer of the zone of saturation, therefore separating it from the zone of aeration.
What is the name of the top surface of the zone of saturation?
the zone of aeration
Which is the layer underground where all empty spaces are filled with a combination of air and water?

Where is the water table located 1 at the top of the zone saturation 2 under the zone of saturation 3 in the layer of bedrock 4 below the layer of bedrock?
a. at the top of the zone of saturation
What is the boundary between the zone of saturation and zone of aeration?
the answer is the water table.
