Water that seeps into the soil is called?
Through a process called infiltration: water that seeps into the soil is called groundwater.
What is the process of moving water down through the soil?
This is known as percolation or groundwater recharge.
How does porosity affect infiltration?
Porosity affects infiltration because it determines the speed of the infiltration whether it will be fast or not
What is the difference between renewable groundwater and nonrenewable groundwater?
What is is the difference between renewable groundwater and nonrenewable groundwater?
Which soil texture has the best level of water infiltration?
Well aggregated and sandy soils have the highest water infiltration rates. Clay and compacted soils have the lowest infiltration rates.
How does the water enter the groundwater system?
Infiltration and then percolation.
Infiltration is the process by which rainwater becomes-?
Infiltration is the process by which rainwater on the ground surface enters the soil.
Which component of the hydrologic cycle describes the recharge of water to the soil and groundwater system?
Infiltration
Which component of the hydrologic cycle describes the recharge of water to the soil and groundwater systems?
infiltration
What type of human activity would result in salt water infiltration groundwater supplies?
groundwater.fresh water
Water that seeps into the soil is called?
Through a process called infiltration: water that seeps into the soil is called groundwater.
What are the nine steps of the water cycle?
Evaporation, condensation, advection, percipitation, runoff, groundwater, infiltration, transpiration, and sublimation(not in order)
Why is ground water free from pollution?
Groundwater is as prone to contamination as surface water. Groundwater contamination results from the infiltration of spills at the surface, leachate from tanks. pipelines and buried waste. Groundwater may also be contaminated by naturally occurring salts, metals, organics and gases in the soil.
What is the process of moving water down through the soil?
This is known as percolation or groundwater recharge.
What does the word infiltration mean?
infiltration
How does porosity affect infiltration?
Porosity affects infiltration because it determines the speed of the infiltration whether it will be fast or not
What effects infiltration?
Infiltration capacity or amount of infiltration depends on : - Soil type - Surface of entry - Fluid characteristics.
