Saturated
A solution containing all the solute that a solvent can dissolve at a certain temperature and pressure is called a saturated solution.
The underground region in the saturated zone where all spaces between rock and soil particles are filled with water is called the groundwater zone or the phreatic zone. This is where groundwater is stored and flows through permeable materials such as rock fractures or gravel.
Rock becomes saturated when its pore spaces are filled with water. Once filled, the rock is considered to be at its maximum capacity for holding water and is considered saturated. This typically occurs when the rock is completely immersed in water or when all available pore spaces have been occupied by water.
well i don't think you can dissolve a liquid but water is called the universal solvent so i guess water is the solvent
The saturated zone is where the spaces between soil and rock particles are filled with water, while the unsaturated zone is where some of these spaces contain air as well as water. In the saturated zone, the water table is located at the top of this zone, whereas in the unsaturated zone, the water table is below the surface.
The level at which all spaces inside underground rock are filled with water is called groundwater. It contains 21% of the world's freshwater supply.
A saturated solution is one that has all available spaces filled by solute. It is in a state of dynamic equilibrium where the rate of dissolution is equal to the rate of crystallization.
The layer underground where all empty spaces are filled with water is called the saturated zone or the phreatic zone. This zone is located below the water table, which is the upper boundary of the saturated zone where water pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure. Groundwater is stored in the saturated zone and is a vital source of drinking water for many communities.
The layer underground where all empty spaces are filled with a combination of air and water is called the vadose zone or the unsaturated zone. This zone is located above the water table and allows movement of both air and water through it.
Zone of saturation
Zone of aeration
Rain that falls on the surface seeps down through the soil and into a zone called the zone of aeration or unsaturated zone where most of the pore spaces are filled with air. As it penetrates deeper it eventually enters a zone where all pore spaces and fractures are filled with water. This zone is called the saturated zone. The surface below which all openings in the rock are filled with water (the top of the saturated zone) is called the water table .The water table occurs everywhere beneath the Earth's surface. In desert regions it is always present, but rarely intersects the surface.

Because the water is called the "Universal Solvent"
The underground region in the saturated zone where all spaces between rock and soil particles are filled with water is called the groundwater zone or the phreatic zone. This is where groundwater is stored and flows through permeable materials such as rock fractures or gravel.
