Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The area which contains the volume of subsurface water stored in the soil that is accessible to plant roots is called the soil-moisture zone. The zone of saturation contains all the water in the subsurface, while the gravitational zone is where water is moving downward through the soil. The water table is the upper limit of the zone of saturation, and base flow refers to the slow movement of water in streams and rivers that comes from groundwater.
