The water-filled spaces underground are called aquifers. Aquifers are underground rock formations or sediments that hold and transmit water. They are an important source of groundwater for drinking water and irrigation.
The layer you are referring to is called the saturated zone, or the water table. This is where all the empty spaces in the ground (pore spaces in rocks and soil) are filled with water, creating a zone where the rocks or soil are saturated with water.
The area under the ground that contains groundwater is called the "saturated zone" or "aquifer." It is the region where the spaces between rock and soil particles are filled with water, allowing for the storage and movement of groundwater.
Ground water is located in the zone known as the saturated zone, where all the pore spaces in the rock or sediment are filled with water. This zone exists beneath the water table in an aquifer.
Zone of saturation
The level below which the ground is saturated with water is known as the water table. It represents the top of the saturated zone in an aquifer where the pore spaces between soil and rock particles are filled with water.
