• ground water.

• water limit.

Answer 1

water table.

Explanation:

If we dig a deep hole in the ground, the soil below is moist. This shows the presence of water under the ground. If we go on digging deeper and deeper we will reach the level where all the spaces between the soil particles and the gaps between rocks are filled with water. The upper limit of this layer is known as the water table. This water table varies from place to place. In some places, it may be less than a meter deep, while in other places, it may be as deep as 100 metres or more.
