I work on farms in the fens of East Anglia, UK, where the water table is quite high. Even when there has been no rain, the fields seem dry when tides at the coast are low. At high tides, the water seems to rise and make the field wet. We all know that the moon affects tides at sea, but can it also affect the height of the water table quite far inland?
