Detailed explanation-1: -Soil permeability is the property of the soil to transmit water and air and is one of the most important qualities to consider for fish culture. A pond built in impermeable soil will lose little water through seepage.

Detailed explanation-2: -The permeability of soil describes how water (or other liquid) and air are able to move through the soil. In the case of rainfall or irrigation, water moves very easily through highly permeable soils and very slowly through soils with low permeability.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ability or attribute of any soil or rock to permit the flow or passage of water through it is termed permeability.

Detailed explanation-4: -More specifically, porosity of a rock is a measure of its ability to hold a fluid. Mathematically, it is the open space in a rock divided by the total rock volume (solid and space). Permeability is a measure of the ease of flow of a fluid through a porous solid.

Detailed explanation-5: -Porosity is the amount of pore space that is between particles in soil or rocks. Permeability takes this pore space and connects the voids together so that water can pass through. Porosity is more associated with storage of water, while permeability is more associated with groundwater movement and flow.
