Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When water falls on the ground as rain, hail or snow, it can soak into the ground-this process is called infiltration. Water that soaks in this way may be stored underground as groundwater. Some percolates down to the water table.

Detailed explanation-2: -Infiltration. Infiltration happens when water soaks into the soil from the ground level. It moves underground and moves between the soil and rocks.
