Water Table Depth in Groundwater Hydrology Formulas

The Water Table Depth refers to the vertical distance from the ground surface down to the water table, which is the upper surface of the zone of saturation where the soil or rock is fully saturated. And is denoted by H₁. Water Table Depth is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Water Table Depth is always negative.
