Infiltration rain is the term used to describe rain that soaks into soil and rock. This process is important for recharging groundwater supplies and supporting plant growth.
Water enters soil through processes such as precipitation, irrigation, and infiltration. Precipitation brings rain or snowmelt to the soil surface, irrigation involves human intervention to apply water to the soil, and infiltration is the process by which water seeps into the soil through its surface.
The region where water from rain and snow is absorbed into the soil is called the "infiltration zone." This zone allows water to percolate through the soil and replenish groundwater sources.
Infiltration refers to the process of water entering and moving through the soil surface. Percolation, on the other hand, is the movement of water downward through the soil layers. Infiltration occurs at the soil surface, while percolation happens within the soil profile.
Infiltration. This process involves the water seeping into the soil and moving downwards through the soil layers.

Size matters

Infiltration capacity or amount of infiltration depends on : - Soil type - Surface of entry - Fluid characteristics.
Infiltration in the water cycle refers to the process where water on the ground surface enters the soil. This water then moves downwards through the soil layers due to gravity. It is an important mechanism for recharging groundwater and sustaining plant life.
Infiltration rate decreases with time due to soil clogging, where particles, organic matter, and other materials fill the pore spaces in the soil. This reduces the ability of water to move through the soil, resulting in slower infiltration rates over time. Additionally, compaction of the soil can also contribute to a decrease in infiltration rate as it reduces the porosity of the soil.

The process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil. The rate of infiltration is affected by soil characteristics including ease of entry, storage capacity, and transmission rate through the soil.
Infiltration happens when water enters and moves through the soil surface due to gravity and capillary action. It occurs when precipitation or irrigation water exceeds the soil's infiltration capacity. The rate of infiltration is influenced by soil texture, compaction, slope, vegetation cover, and the intensity of rainfall or irrigation.
It seems that infiltration rate is a soil parameter which is determined in the field with all soil aspects. However, hydraulic conductivity is determined in the lab and it is not typically illustrated soil permiability as compared with infiltration rate
