Saturation zone: The portion below the earth's surface that is saturated with water is called the zone of saturation. The upper surface of this zone, open to atmospheric pressure, is known as the water table.
zone of saturation The soil or rock located below the top of the groundwater table. By definition, the zone of saturation is saturated with water. Also, see water table.

Dewpoint - The temperature at which air is cooled enough to reach its saturation point (100% humidity) for a given volume of water vapor in the air.
where v is the observed initial rate, V is its limiting value at substrate saturation (i.e. [S] > > KM), and KM the substrate concentration when v = V/2. The definition is experimental, i.e.
This continues up to the "light saturation point". At the light saturation point further increases in light results in little or no further increase in photosynthesis.
(2) The process by which water is added to the Zone of Saturation. (3) The introduction of surface or ground water to groundwater storage such as an aquifer.
Environmental Protection Agency defines wetlands as "lands where saturation with water is the dominant factor determining the nature of soil development and the types of plant and animal communities living in the soil and on its surface.
Wetlands: Lands where water saturation is the dominant factor that determines the nature of soil development and the types of plant and animal communities living in the surrounding environment.
Groundwater: Water occurring in the zone of saturation in an aquifer or soil. Water beneath the surface of the earth which saturates the pores and fractures of sand, gravel, and rock formations.
The process by which external water is added to the zone of saturation of an aquifer, either directly into a formation or indirectly by way of another formation.
