# The Water Table The water table is the underground boundary between soil that is saturated with water (below) and soil that contains mostly air in its pore spaces (above). Imagine digging a hole in the ground—the water table is the level where water begins to fill the hole and collect. This boundary isn't flat like a table; it generally follows the contours of the land surface above it, rising under hills and dipping in valleys. The water table's depth changes with rainfall, drought, and how much groundwater people pump out, which is why wells can run dry during droughts.
