A perched water table (or perched aquifer) is an aquifer that occurs above the regional water table, in the vadose zone. This occurs when there is an impermeable layer of rock or sediment (aquiclude) or relatively impermeable layer (aquitard) above the main water table/aquifer but below the surface of the land.
In the saturated zone the pore spaces (or spaces between soil particles or spaces in fractures or openings in rock masses) are completely filled with water, and pressures in the water are greater than atmospheric. Water in the saturated zone is called groundwater.Unlike the unsaturated zone and the capillary fringe, water in the saturated zone will flow to a pumped well. Water table.
