What is a "water table"?

In architecture, a water table is a horizontal ledge or projection found near the base of a building. Its purpose is to direct rainwater away from the building’s walls to help prevent water damage. It can be made of stone, brick, or other materials, and it often slightly sticks out from the wall to create a slope. This small feature helps protect the foundation by ensuring water flows away, reducing the chance of moisture seeping into the building's lower sections.
