What is the area called that is immediately below a water table?
a mud table
What is the difference between a water table and a watershed?
A water table is the level below ground where soil and rock are saturated with water. A watershed, on the other hand, is the area of land where all the water that falls on it drains into a common waterbody such as a river, lake, or ocean. Essentially, the water table is underground, while a watershed is above ground.
The name given to the margin of the earth below which the layers of soil are saturated with water?
The area you are referring to is called the water table. It marks the boundary between the saturated and unsaturated layers of soil in the ground.
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
Why does the level of a water table change from time to time?
The amount of rain in the area determins how full the water table is. It also depends on how many people are using the aquifier and how much foliage the aquifier supplies. These are a couple things that determine how fast the table lowers, but area rainfall determines how fast the table recovers.
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.
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.
True or false the water table is mostly underground?
True. The water table is the level below the Earth's surface that is saturated with water and represents the upper surface of the groundwater in an area. It is mostly found underground and fluctuates depending on factors such as precipitation and seasonality.
What is below the water table?
Below the water table is the saturated zone, where the pores in the rock or soil are filled with water. This is where groundwater is stored and flows, providing water for wells and springs. The unsaturated zone above the water table contains both air and water in the pores.
Why do wells have to be built below the water table?
If the bottom of a well is above the water table, the well would be dry.
Is Groundwater often obtained by drilling a well to reach below the water table?
