above the water table
If the water table is higher the the surface of the land, water will seep out of the land surface and form a puddle, pool or lake. The depth of the water body will increase until the water surface is at the same level as the surrounding water table - this is a state of equilibrium. If the water table lowers, so will the water level in the water body, until equilibrium is reached. Water moves slowly into and out of the land surface and follows the movement of the water table in the area. Don't confuse this with storage reservoirs behind dams. These have an artificially high water level and the surrounding water table can be lower than the reservoir.
"Water table" is defined as 'the upper limit of the portion of the ground wholly saturated with water' (Merriam-Webster)Using that definition, an example sentence could be:"Flooding occurs when the water table reaches the surface."
The capillary fringe
Usually a change in the level of the water table, either the water disappears and takes away it's support of the surface, or it rises and washes away some of the sub-structure. OR the water can change its pH and dissolve away limestone.
If the water table rises, the stream may become more full and flow faster due to increased groundwater discharge into the stream. This could potentially lead to flooding and erosion along the stream banks.
The water table rises when water infiltrates the ground from precipitation or other sources and accumulates underground. It falls when water is removed from the ground through activities like pumping for irrigation or drinking water. Natural factors like evaporation can also contribute to fluctuations in the water table level.

This process is called water table rise, which occurs when heavy rainfall saturates the ground with water, causing the water table to rise. Excessive water accumulation can lead to flooding and potential water damage to properties on the surface.
During heavy rainfall, the water table can rise as excess water infiltrates the ground and accumulates. This can lead to waterlogging, increased saturation of the soil, and potential flooding in lower-lying areas. Over time, the water table will naturally balance out as excess water percolates deeper into the ground or is carried away by surface runoff.
Surface water. However the water in a river is usually lelvel with the water table.
No, most caverns form below the water table. Caverns are typically formed by the dissolution of underground limestone or other soluble rocks by water, and this process usually occurs below the water table where the rocks are saturated with water.
The layer of rocks and soil above the water table that are usually not filled with water is called the unsaturated zone or vadose zone. This area allows water to percolate down to the groundwater below.
