# Water Table Definition The **water table** is the upper surface of the zone of saturation in the ground, where soil and rock pores are completely filled with water. Above this level is the zone of aeration (unsaturated zone), and below it is the zone of saturation (saturated zone). At the water table, the water pressure equals atmospheric pressure. ## Worked Example **Problem:** A well is drilled to 15 meters depth. The driller finds dry soil from 0-8 meters and water-saturated soil from 8-15 meters. Where is the water table? **Solution:** The water table is located at **8 meters depth** below the ground surface. This is the boundary between: - The unsaturated zone (0-8 m): contains air and some water - The saturated zone (8-15 m): all pores filled with water The water level in the well will stabilize at 8 meters depth, marking the water table elevation.
