CREATING AND CONTROLLING AN ARTIFICIAL WATER TABLE ABSTRACT The installation includes a watertight membrane (20) that lines a basin excavated in the earth. A ballast layer (34) of generally uniform size rock is laid on top of the watertight membrane in the basin, and the ballast layer is extremely permeable by water. The ballast layer is covered by a permeable membrane (36) such as cloth. The permeable membrane is, in turn, covered by a layer (38) of finely divided particles such as crushed volcanic ash or cinders. The particles of this fine layer are prevented from pentrating the ballast layer by the permeable membrane. The fine layer permits water to diffuse through it by capillary action. The fine layer is topped by a finish layer (40) which is appropriate to the use to be made of the installation. Water is inserted in the ballast layer causing the water table in it to rise to and above the permeable membrane, the amount of water provided to the finish layer can be adjusted by raising and lowering the water level.
