The water table is the surface from which water emerges in springs and seeps. It is also the surface to which water recharges, or returns, after it has been pumped out for use. The water table varies in depth, depending on the amount of water in the aquifer and the rate at which it is replenished.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shape_and_Height_of_Water_Table\"><\/span>Shape and Height of Water Table<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The shape of the water table is irregular because it affected by the shape of the soil and the features of the land surface. The water table is highest near the surface and it gets lower as you go deeper. The water table is not always at the same level; it can rise and fall depending on the amount of water in the soil.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Variations_in_the_Water_Table\"><\/span>Variations in the Water Table<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The water table is the level at which the groundwater is at equilibrium with the atmosphere. It can be affected by changes in the amount of rain, the rate of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Evaporation\">evaporation<\/a>, the amount of groundwater recharge, and the amount of groundwater discharge. The water table can also affected by human activities, such as groundwater withdrawals and the construction of impermeable surfaces.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uses_of_the_Water_Table\"><\/span>Uses of the Water Table<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The water table is a key part of the water cycle.
