Saturated Zone
The area below the water table where all open spaces are filled with water under pressure equal to or greater than that of the atmosphere.

saturated zone The subsurface zone where pore spaces are completely filled with water.
Saturated Zone: The portion of subsurface soil and rock where every available space is filled with water. Aquifers are located in this zone. DIAGRAM ...
Saturated Zone: portion of the soil or rock profile in which all pores are filled with water.
Scavenger: one who illegally removes materials at any point in the solid waste management system.
saturated zone. The area below the water table where all open spaces are filled with water.
Unsaturated zone: See aeration zone.
V
Vapor: The state of water in the hydrologic cycle in which individual molecules are highly energized and move about freely; also known as gas/gaseous.
Unsaturated zone
Underground soil and gravel that could contain groundwater, but lies above the aquifier. This is in contrast to a saturated zone, where the space between soil particles is filled with water.
Saturated Zone: Portion of the subsurface environment in which all voids are ideally filled with water under pressure greater than atmospheric.
Saturated Zone
A geological area below the ground surface in which all pores and cracks are filled with water under pressure equal to or greater than that of the atmosphere.A well placed in this zone will be able to pump ground water.
unsaturated zone The area between the land surface and water table in which pore spaces are not completely filled with water. Also known as the vadose zone. Compare saturated zone. UST Underground storage tank.
groundwater The mass of water in the ground that fills saturated zones of material such as sand, gravel or porous rock. hazardous waste Waste materials that are inherently dangerous in contact, handling and disposal.
Vadose Zone- The unsaturated zone in a soil where chemical processes are at their most active.
Ground water - (1) Generally, all subsurface water as distinct from Surface Water; specifically, the part that is in the saturated zone of a defined aquifer.
Infiltration The movement of water from the surface of the land through the unsaturated zone and into the groundwater. This occurs during and immediately after precipitation events. It can also occur at the bottom of lakes and rivers.
...
A zone of porous material lying between the unsaturated and saturated zone, just above the water table, which may hold water by capillary action in the smaller void spaces.
