occur when the watertable is higher than
the ground surface. Pressure forces the water out of the
land at a weak point which creates the spring.
Surface Water Stream or Pond
is caused by a high water
table. Also, a high watertable can result from a stream and
pond in that area.
Transpiration
Plants take water from the soil to use in photosynthesis. Water vapor is then given off to the atmosphere.
Water Table Aquifer
aquifer that supports the watertable.
The top limit to this aquifer is the watertable itself.
Vapors
Vapors are groups water molecules in gaseous form. When the
vapors begin to condense around dust particles in the air, one
can see the development as clouds. When enough condensation
occurs, precipitation falls from the cloud
Water Table Well
a well that only extends down into the
watertable aquifer
Water Table
the level at which the water stays. The very
top of the zone of saturation. Water can also be found a few
centimeters above this level water due to capillary action.
In the presence of a pumping well, the watertable drops near
the well. This situation is called drawdown. Under some
conditions, a perched watertable may exist. This occurs when
the water percolation is interrupted by another confining
layer above the "main" one.
