Well apart from having wet ground to work on this is a mature aspect of civil engineering it is so important that there is a specialization into geotechnical engineering!
There have been several building collapse or serviceability problems because of soil, the best example is the leaning tower of Pizza which is due to differential settlement.
The two most important questions that need to be answered is "How much settlement" and "How long will it take", in ideal you want to have ass little settlement as possible and you want the settlement to be over when construction ends.

What filters through the soil?
The answer is groundwater.:)
What does precipitation that percolates in the soil become?
Groundwater
What is the water that seeps through rocks and soil called?
ground water Groundwater is located beneath the soil surface. A sustainable amount of ground water creates an aquifer. The point at which the soil and rocks become completely saturated is the water table. Groundwater will flow to the surface naturally. The study of groundwater is hydrogeology.
What effect does irrigation have on soil groundwater and rivers?
The effect irrigation has on soil is that it dampens it, making it better for growing crops. To groundwater, irrigation fills it up with water. Rivers are affected by irrigation by the irrigation flowing into it.
Water that seeps into the soil is called?
Through a process called infiltration: water that seeps into the soil is called groundwater.
How does groundwater affects engineering construction?
by losing the soil and rock strength the finally it will claps

How does the permeability of soil and rocks affect the flow of groundwater?
Permeability is when water can pass through different types of soil and rocks. Therefore the permeability affects the soil and rocks because if the soil or rock is PERMEABLE then the groundwater can easily flow through it :)
What filters through the soil?
The answer is groundwater.:)
What is water that is not absorbed by soil?
Groundwater.
Can soil water become groundwater?
Yes it can.
What does precipitation that percolates in the soil become?
Groundwater
What is the definition of groundwater?
the definition of groundwater is water that fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock layers
What happens to the groundwater?
it gose through the soil and rocks
Water stored in layers of soil and rock beneath earths surface is called?
No, it is called ground water.
What is water contained in pores of soil or rock?
Water contained in pores of soil or rock is groundwater..
What fills spaces between particles of rock and soil?
its groundwater!
