What does the water table relate to?

  1. Quality of surface water

  2. Use of underground water

  3. Amount of rainfall

  4. Evaporation rates

The correct answer is: Use of underground water

The water table is a term used to describe the upper surface of an underground zone where all pores and cracks are filled with water. It is the boundary between the unsaturated and saturated zones of the Earth's subsurface. This means that the water table relates to the use of underground water because it represents the level at which groundwater is found. The options A, C, and D are all related to surface water and do not pertain to the location or level of the water table. Therefore, they are incorrect choices.
