Since the water table is just a level of ground that holds water, much of the content of the water table is water. When the water is gone, the water table shrinks, and the land moves downwards.

What does ground water have to do with the water table?

Groundwater is the water that is stored beneath the Earth's surface in saturated zones called aquifers. The water table is the upper boundary of the groundwater, representing the level below which the soil and rock are saturated with water. Groundwater interacts with the water table by replenishing it through infiltration and being affected by changes in its level due to factors like precipitation and withdrawals.


What is the name of the top surface of the zone of saturation?

the zone of aeration


Where is a perched water table in relation to its other water table?

A perched water table is located above the main water table. It forms when an impermeable layer, such as clay or rock, restricts the downward movement of water, causing water to accumulate above it. The perched water table can be found at a higher elevation than the main water table.


Is water table and ground water the same?

No, the water table is the upper surface of underground water, whereas groundwater refers to the water that is stored below the earth's surface in soil and rock formations. Groundwater exists below the water table and can be pumped to the surface for various uses.


What is therelationship between a water table and a well?

The water table is the level below the ground where all spaces are filled with water. Wells are structures dug or drilled into the ground to access the water below the water table. The depth of a well is determined by the distance between the water table and the surface.

How would the water table be affected if Earth were made up of uniform permeable material?

The water table would not exist.


What table is the water drawn from?

Water is typically drawn from a water table, which is the upper surface of groundwater below which the soil or rock is saturated with water. This water table can vary in depth and can be affected by factors such as precipitation, groundwater pumping, and local geology.


What happens when ground water is withdrawn?

As ground water is withdrawn, the net effect is to lower the water table for the affected area.


Cold temperatures increase or decrease the water table?

Heat would dry the earth. If the water table is down far enough it would not be affected.


Does a water table require gravity?

Everything needs gravity, everything is affected by it :P
