B) depth to the water table
C) presence of wells
D) the slope gradient) of the water table

Groundwater Velocity

The speed at which groundwater moves through an aquifer, influenced by the permeability of the rock and the hydraulic gradient.

Water Table

The upper surface of the zone of saturation where water pressure and atmospheric pressure are equal, beneath which soil and rock are saturated with water.
