Ground may be regarded as waterlogged when the water table of the ground water is too high to conveniently permit an anticipated activity. The water table is the level at which the ground water pressure is equal to Atmospheric pressure. Groundwater is Water located beneath the Ground surface in Soil pore spaces and in the Fractures of lithologic formations After heavy rain, it may prevent the playing of cricket or other outdoor sports.

In agriculture, various crops need air (specifically, oxygen) to a greater or lesser depth in the soil. Agriculture refers to the production of goods through the growing of plants and fungi and the raising of domesticated Animals The study of agriculture Domestication (from Latin domesticus) refers to the process whereby a Population of Animals Temperature and layers The temperature of the Earth's atmosphere varies with altitude the mathematical relationship between temperature and altitude varies among five Oxygen (from the Greek roots ὀξύς (oxys (acid literally "sharp" from the taste of acids and -γενής (-genēs (producer literally begetteris the Soil, often typeset as SOiL, is a four piece rock band from Chicago Illinois United States founded by Shaun Glass Tom Schofield Tim King and Adam Zadel Waterlogging of the soil stops air getting in. How near the water table must be to the surface for the ground to be classed as waterlogged, varies with the purpose in view. The water table is the level at which the ground water pressure is equal to Atmospheric pressure. A crop's demand for freedom from waterlogging may vary between seasons of the year, as with the growing of rice (Oryza sativa). Rice is a Cereal foodstuff which forms an important part of the diet of many people worldwide and as such it is a staple food for many

In archaeology, the long-term exclusion of air by groundwater preserves perishable artefacts. Archaeology, archeology, or archæology (from Greek grc ἀρχαιολογία archaiologia – grc ἀρχαῖος archaīos Groundwater is Water located beneath the Ground surface in Soil pore spaces and in the Fractures of lithologic formations In Archaeology, an artifact or artefact is any object made or modified by a human culture, and often one later recovered by some archaeological Thus, in a site which has been waterlogged since the archaeological horizon was deposited, exceptional insight may be obtained by study of artefacts of leather, wood, textile or similar materials. An archaeological horizon is a widely disseminated period of common art and artifacts at an Archaeological site or more usually over a larger geographic area and is a distinctive Leather is a material created through the Tanning of hides and Skins of Animals primarily Cattlehide The Tanning process Wood is hard fibrous lignified structural tissue produced as secondary Xylem in the stems of Woody plants notably trees but also shrubs A textile is a flexible material comprised of a network of natural or artificial Fibres often referred to as thread or Yarn.

From a gardening point of view, waterlogging is the process whereby the soil blocks off all water and is so hard it stops air getting in.

A wooden ship is waterlogged when it is flooded with water but stays afloat because the wood that it is made of can float.
