  • Understanding Groundwater: The Zone of Saturation Explained
    Groundwater is found below the surface in the zone of saturation.

    Here's why:

    * Zone of Saturation: This zone is the area below the Earth's surface where all the spaces between soil and rock particles are completely filled with water. This water is what we call groundwater.

    * Water Table: The top of the zone of saturation is called the water table.

    * Zone of Aeration: The area above the water table is called the zone of aeration. Here, the spaces between soil and rock particles are filled with air and some water.
