What do i mean by water table in water cycle

-

After rain fall occurs, water accumulates .

This water is called ground water. This water slowly flows under the ground through the pore spaces in the soil. The water continues to go under the soil till it reaches a certain point where it can no longer go down.

In this region the water slowly accumulates forming a water reservoir called aquifer. The aquifer is a place under the soil which is saturated with water. The upper surface of this zone of saturation is called the water table.
