What are the affects of infiltration rate?

The infiltration rate affects the amount of water that can penetrate the soil, impacting groundwater recharge and soil moisture levels. Higher infiltration rates can reduce surface runoff and erosion, while lower rates can lead to waterlogging and increased runoff. Managing infiltration rates is important for sustainable water resource management and soil health.


Why does infiltration rate decrease with time?

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.


What influences infiltration?

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.

Difference between fatty infiltration and fatty change?

Fatty infiltration refers to the abnormal accumulation of fat within cells or tissues, whereas fatty change refers to the process where normal cells contain more fat than usual, often due to an underlying condition like obesity or alcohol consumption. Fatty infiltration is usually a more severe and pathological process compared to fatty change.
