Intro to Soil Science
Infiltration is the process by which water enters the soil from the surface, moving downward through the soil layers. This movement of water is critical for replenishing groundwater supplies and maintaining soil moisture, which is essential for plant growth and soil health. The rate of infiltration can be influenced by various factors such as soil texture, structure, compaction, and vegetation cover.
