What is the zone called that lies above the water table?
The zone above the water table is called the unsaturated zone or vadose zone. This area contains both air and water, with the water content decreasing as you move up towards the surface.
What is the layer of rocks and soil above the water table that are usually not filled with water called?
The layer of rocks and soil above the water table that are usually not filled with water is called the unsaturated zone or vadose zone. This area allows water to percolate down to the groundwater below.
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.
What is the name of the top surface of the zone of saturation?
the zone of aeration
What is a perched water table and what is the cause?
A perched water table is a localized zone of saturation above the main water table within the soil profile. It typically forms in areas where impermeable layers, such as clay or bedrock, restrict downward movement of water. This leads to the accumulation of water above the impermeable layer, creating a perched water table.

Is the ground dry above water table?
Yes it is above the water table.

Where can people obtain groundwater by drilling a well A below the water table B above the water table C beside a water table?
above the water table
What is the name for the dip in water table caused by pumping?
A dip in the water table caused by pumping is called a cone of depression. The land surface above the cone is called the area of influence.
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.

What layer of soil is groundwater located?
Groundwater is located in aquifers which are layers of rocks underground that have pores that fill with water that comes from the above layer called the water table or phreatic surface. Further below the water table, where the pores are filled with water, is called the phreatic zone.
What is a pocket of water that sits above the water table?
An aquifer.
Is the water table below the layer of impermeable rock?
If the layer of impermeable rock is below the water table, then the water table is likely above the impermeable rock and the groundwater will be trapped above it. If the impermeable rock is above the water table, then the water table is likely below the impermeable rock layer and the groundwater will not be able to pass through it.
What is water vapor suspended in the sky called?
Clouds
What is the name of the top surface of the zone of saturation?
the zone of aeration
