I've never understood how the below-ground water table works. It seems you can sink a well at the base of a hill and hit water at 40 feet. Sink a well at the top of the hill and you also hit water at 40 feet. I don't get it.

It's called a perched water table.
Not all subsurface layers are permeable.
Technically, a swimming pool is a perched water table, just man made instead of natural.
