Groundwater

What is infiltration?

• The process by which water sinks into the ground

• The zone where there are still air spaces left between the particles.

• The process by which water vapor turns into liquid water and forms fog or clouds.

• The process by which water does not sink into the ground, but rather travels along the surface.
