southern MN | I’m assuming you wanted a pic with that.
Where I live we have clay layers under the topsoil, and get perched water tables, or on a slope it ends up being a short term spring, as the water follows the clay and bleeds out to the surface about 1/2 way down the hill. We are in a wet area, so here we need to tile the hillsides, they end up being the wettest after putting a main through the bottoms. The water flows faster through the lighter ground of the top of the hill, the bottom of the hill is heavier ground and water flows slower, and so there is just a several acre spring that forms on every side hill in wet conditions. The water piles in faster than it can push out the bottom.
That makes very stunted crops here in our conditions on our side slopes. Never see water standing as it’s a hillside, but it’s contantly saturated for weeks after a heavy rain.
