That phreatic zone is 1. those parts of the earth's crust in which all voids are filled with water under pressure greater than atmospheric [22]. 2. that part of the earth's crust beneath the regional water table in which all voids, large and small, are ideally filled with water under pressure greater than atmospheric [22]. when discussing a karst setting, it is preferable to use the term, phreatic zone, so as to avoid confusion regarding chemical saturation. synonym: saturated zone. see also zone of saturation.?
