In some places you have to go down many feet to reach surface the water table; in others it is closer to the ground surface. Provided it is not nearer than a foot, you can maintain a very fine lawn without artificially draining the soil; but for most trees, shrubs, perennials and vegetables it is better that the water Table be not closer than one and a half or two feet to the surface.

The fact that tidal motion in the ocean interior varies so rapidly with depth demonstrates that the motion is not the result of ordinary (surface) tides, which are created by the sun and moon, as these would be associated with nearly uniform currents from top to bottom. Interior tidal motion is associated instead with peculiar waves that reach surface their maximum motion in the interior and are virtually motionless at the surface.
