water tables
Subterranean moisture boundaries
A water table is the underground boundary below which soil and rock are saturated with groundwater.
Wells must reach below the water table to draw water.
The level fluctuates with rainfall and drought: The water table has dropped significantly during the dry season.
In architecture, a water table is a projecting ledge or molding designed to direct rainwater away from a building's foundation.
