The "water table" refers to the level of the groundwater (sometimes also called the "ground water table") below the surface of the earth.
The level varies according to local topography and environmental conditions. In some cases the water table can be a few centimeters below the surface of the land or it can be hundreds of meters below the surface.
Water table is important for a number of reasons; large trees and plants are normally "tapped into" it, and get their water from this source if they are not being irrigated. Wells and well points also tap into the water table so that animals and humans can make use of it.
Major concerns about the water table include: pollution of the ground water, salinity and over exploitation.
The water table is the area below ground where unsaturated soil ends and saturated soil begins.

∙ 6y agoa water table is reservoir or a collection of pure or fresh waters. In other words it is the upper limit of underground water.
It is the surface point where water pressure head is equal to atmospheric pressure.
A water table is the level below the ground that is saturated with water. Then it comes out into the sea again! And it is connected to every water source!! + It filters the water! It comes from rain!!
Surface water filters down into the layers of soil and rock. Eventually it reaches a level where the soil or rock is saturated with water.
Water table is the level below the ground where all the pores of soil are filled with water. The upper surface of underground water; the upper boundary of the zone of saturation.

How Is The Water Table affected when water is taken out?
Since the water table is just a level of ground that holds water, much of the content of the water table is water. When the water is gone, the water table shrinks, and the land moves downwards.
