The water table is the upper surface of the

  • A.zone of saturation
  • B.zone of aeration lying above it
  • C.capillary fringe
  • D.confined aquifer

Answer: A

Correct answer: zone of saturation

The water table is the surface at which the pore water pressure equals atmospheric, and it separates the zone of saturation below, where every void is water-filled, from the zone of aeration above, where the voids hold both air and water. It is not a fixed level: it rises after recharge and falls in drought, and it broadly follows the topography in a subdued form.
