A land is said to be waterlogged when the soil pores in the root zone get saturated with water, either by the actual water table or by its capillary fringe.
Solution
Waterlogging is the process of saturating the soil with water which occurs due to excess irrigation of soil and poor drainage conditions in the area. It also occurs when soil is of low permeability or impervious stratum is there beneath the top layer of soil. Waterlogging affects the aeration of the soil and changes the pH of the soil.
