The distance above a water table for building a home typically depends on local building codes, soil conditions, and flood zone regulations. Generally, it's advisable to build at least 1 to 3 feet above the seasonal high water table to prevent water intrusion and ensure proper drainage. Additionally, local regulations may specify minimum elevation requirements based on flood risk. Always consult with local authorities and a qualified builder to determine the best practices for your specific location.

How close can you build to a lake?

Lots of people like to build right at the water line but that's not very smart - the lake is going to flood eventually and your home will be flooded. The best place to build is just above the highest water mark you can find. Leave the rest of the land as your lawn and that way when it floods, nothing gets damaged but your grass.
