Groundwater System Diagram: Soil Zones, Water Table & Aquifer Structure #125985 (License: Personal Use)

This educational diagram depicts vertical soil stratification and hydrological processes, including the soil zone, zone of aeration (with infiltration and capillary fringe), and zone of saturation containing the water table and underlying aquifer. It also highlights a perched water table above the main water table, formed by an impermeable layer like a clay lens or aquiclude. Arrows indicate downward water movement and lateral flow within the aquifer.

Used in environmental science, geology, and civil engineering educational materials, textbooks, and websites explaining groundwater recharge, well construction, or contamination pathways; matches user intent for learning hydrogeological concepts visually.
