Which factor is most important in determining how much groundwater can be stored in underground rock?
Porosity - how much open space between grains.
What three factors affect a materials porosity?
size and shape are 2 of them
What is porosity in relation to groundwater?
Porosity is a measurement of the ratio of pore space to solids in a given volume of material. The pore spaces form in soils and rocks due to the gaps between the individual clasts or grains that aggregate to form them. Compaction and consolidation (where the soil or rock is compressed) can force the grains closer together and so reduce the size of the pore spaces and so decrease the porosity. Below the phreatic surface or water table, these pore spaces are normally filled with water (there are exceptions however for simplicities sake it is a reasonable assumption). The larger the porosity of a rock or soil, the more space per unit volume there is to store groundwater. Also the larger the interconnections between the pore spaces and the greater the number of interconnections, the more permeable the material will be to the movement of groundwater. Porosity is a dimensionless quantity which is calculated by dividing the volume of void space by the total volume of the material in question. There are a number of methods of determining the value of the porosity of a material and for more information please see the related link.
How does the hair's porosity affect haircolor?
What is porosity ? And how can it affect hair color
How quickly would groundwater flow through rock with porosity and high permeability?
75
How does sorting of rock particles affect porosity of rocks?
poorly sorted = low porosity well sorted = high porosity
How does porosity affect infiltration?
Porosity affects infiltration because it determines the speed of the infiltration whether it will be fast or not

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 :)
