Select the correct sentence about the water table.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is  option 1  i.e. The water table varies from place to place.

The water table is the upper surface of the zone of saturation, where soil or rocks are fully saturated with water. It varies from place to place depending on factors like rainfall, topography, and geology. This variation occurs because groundwater levels respond to changes in climate, human activity, and natural conditions. It is not fixed and can rise or fall over time.

Other options:

  • The lower level of the groundwater layer is not called the water table :the water table is the upper level of saturated groundwater.

  • Water is always found below the water table :as it marks the saturated zone.

  • The water table cannot be changed at a given place :The water table can change due to natural or human influences.
