In particularly wet years, short stretches of an otherwise dry stream-bed may have flowing water because the water table rises to intersect the land surface.
在气候特别湿润的年月里，平常干涸的河床下游可能会有水流动，因为地下水在那里位抬升到了地表以上。

If the water table intersect the land surface, groundwater will flow out onto the surface at springs, whether to be collected there or to subsequently flow farther along a drainage.
如果地下水位与地表相交，地下水将在泉水处流出地表，聚集于此或是随后沿着排水系统进一步流动。

This decrease in the water table is a major contributor to land subsidence - New Orleans, like Venice, is sinking.
