groundwater level
Subsurface water depth
The groundwater level is the depth below the surface where soil and rock become saturated with water—the top of the water table.
It fluctuates with rainfall, drought, and pumping from wells.
The groundwater level has dropped significantly during the drought.
Engineers and farmers monitor it to assess water availability.
