Detailed explanation-1: -Water infiltrates the soil by moving through the surface. Percolation is the movement of water through the soil itself. Finally, as the water percolates into the deeper layers of the soil, it reaches ground water, which is water below the surface.
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. Some of the water will be soaked up by roots to help plants grow.
Detailed explanation-3: -Infiltration is the process of water entry into the soil through the earth’s surface. The water at the soil surface can originate from rain, snowmelt or anthropogenic activities (e.g. to regulate groundwater formation by artificial infiltration).
Detailed explanation-4: -Infiltration is defined as the flow of water from aboveground into the subsurface. The topic of infiltration has received a great deal of attention because of its importance to topics as widely ranging as irrigation, contaminant transport, groundwater recharge, and ecosystem viability.
Detailed explanation-5: -The rainwater and water from other sources such as rivers and ponds seeps through the soil and fills the empty spaces and cracks deep below the ground. The process of seeping of water into the ground is called infiltration.
