Depth to the Apparent Water Table in 17 New York Soils from 1963 to 1970

Author
Frittont, Daniel; Olson, Gerald
Abstract
When a pit is dug in soil, it commonly happens that at a
certain depth, water seeps from the soil to form a shallow
pool at the bottom; at this point, the pit is said to have
reached the water table. When the pit is dug below this
point, the water surface in it will equilibrate to the water
table level. Soil below this level will be saturated and the
water under pressure. Above this level, the soil will be
unsaturated and the water under tension.
