I am not sure, but you should check position of water table in your command. Is it really Position-x 40. Water table should be along -z direction. If your water table is at the ground table, it should position-z of the ground level in your model.

Theoretically the water table is plotted where saturation goes from 1 to 0. By default it is a thin black line. Maybe you just can’t see it in the plot? Try making the line a different color and thicker.

I am not sure I understand you. The water table should be at the location where the saturation is 1 but it is not showing.

Thank you. Yes, theoretically it should be at the location where saturation equals 1. However, I am concern not seeing the water table. I tried what you said, I put off the other element for it to show only the water table but I still cannot view it.
