when water flows down into a lake or steam ,we call it?
Groundwater is water that has soaked into the ground and can be obtained from a spring or well. It is an important source of drinking water for many communities and plays a crucial role in supporting ecosystems and agriculture.
The ground is saturated. Any more water will run off and could cause flooding of the surrounding land.
some of it gets soaked into the ground or flows through rocks and some of flows to the nearest body of water
You can watch is rain or snow which is precipitation. You can also watch infiltration which is when the water is being soaked up into the ground.
When rainwater penetrates into the ground, it is referred to as infiltration.
Rain that is not soaked up by soil can run off the ground and flow into rivers, lakes, and oceans. This runoff can carry contaminants from the ground, such as pollutants or pesticides, which can have a negative impact on water quality and aquatic ecosystems. Additionally, excessive runoff can lead to flooding in low-lying areas.
When water is soaked into the ground, it first infiltrates the surface soil layer through pore spaces. It then percolates downward through the soil profile under the influence of gravity, eventually reaching the groundwater table. The rate and extent of infiltration depend on factors such as soil texture, structure, vegetation cover, and slope of the land.
