• Increasing amounts of runoff

• A heavy rainstorm with a lot of precipitation

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.

• Water being held onto by rock or sediment

• The ability of water to move upward against gravity in a material

• The percentage of empty space in a material
