Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Rain gardens absorb excess runoff in yards. Designed to drain within 48 hours to prevent mosquitoes from breeding, a rain garden absorbs water from roofs, driveways, sidewalks and other impermeable surfaces before it can flood your yard. Water soaks away in the amended soil, or plants take it up in their roots.

Detailed explanation-3: -Willows are ideal for absorbing the most water. Wet areas, such as streams, lakes, and wetlands, are where they naturally grow. These plants have thus adapted their leaves and roots to absorb all of the excess water.
