water table/groundwater table


Explanation:
That's what it sounds like to me.

"Ya que el clorobencilato es prácticamente insoluble en agua y se absorbe fuertemente a las partículas del terreno de los estratos superiores, se espera que muestre baja movilidad en terrenos, y por tanto es improbable que filtre en las faldas acuíferas."
https://es.thefreedictionary.com/acuíferas

Italian, but the same:

Inglese. water table.

De las observaciones que efectué, surge que en los alrededores de Tandil hay por lo menos seis tipos de faldas acuíferas. La napa freática se encuentra a poca profundidad por lo que es afectada por los pozos negros, por lo tanto la primera y segunda napa están contaminadas, siendo potable la tercera y cuarta, que es la que utiliza para la población O.S.N., pero que presentan el inconveniente de poseer en solución gran cantidad de sales que la imposibilitan para la higiene y los usos industriales.

  -> Thanks, Phil.

neutral  neilmac: I think just "aquifer" is the best choice in this case (see refs.)
1 hr
  -> We posted at the same time, but so I'm not disputing the other answer. In this context--reaching the aquifer/water table--I think either would do

  -> Thanks, neilmac.

neutral  philgoddard: The water table is the top of an aquifer, so this is essentially the same answer as Marie's. Either is fine, but she was first.

  -> Phil, I live in Thailand - best copy watches in the world. But, as I never used a watch in my life, and as aquifer and water table are slightly different, I'd like to ask you to disagree or agree - to be neutral is, at least, pathetic. :) Cheers.

Reference: Same difference? Not quite...,

Reference information:
I didn't know which suggestion would be the best option, but a little research shows there is a difference between water table and aquifer.

Perhaps "water table of the Tiber aquifer" would keep everyone happy?
