Answer:
The water table is an underground boundary between the soil surface and the area where groundwater saturates spaces between sediments and cracks in rock. Water pressure and atmospheric pressure are equal at this boundary. ... Underneath the water table is the saturated zone, where water fills all spaces between sediments

The water table is a subterranean barrier that exists between the soil surface and the regions where groundwater saturates.
Explanation:
- The water pressure and ground pressure are equivalent at this point. The saturated zone is a zone beneath the water table where water fills all crevices between the sediments.
- Water tables can be found practically anywhere on the planet, but the amount of water in them varies. Water tables can also be dramatically lowered if the water is not drained in a long-term manner.
- This non-sustainable practice has resulted in the depletion of enormous water reservoirs all over the planet.
- It is mostly impacted by the land surface above the water table. It's considered a towering water table when it curves beneath hills, and a little water table when it lowers under valleys.
- Precipitation is the source of the water table. Springs form when a water table reaches the soil surface organically.
