Groundwater
The water stored below Earth's surface
When water soaks through the ground it becomes groundwater
This is called infiltration
5
Porosity - Amount of space in between soil particles
High Porosity = Lots of space between the soil
Low Porosity = Little space between the soil
6
Multiple Choice
Which would have higher porosity? (More space between particles)
7
Fun fact: Clay is the most porous sediment but is the least permeable
8
Permeability - Material's ability to allow fluids to pass
High Permeability = Water can travel through soil easily
Low Permeability = Water can’t travel through soil easily

10
Pores must have interconnected conduits: open pathways for continuous flow
11
Saturation
If the ground is saturated, water is less likely to infiltrate
If the ground will not absorb any more water, the water will become runoff
Flooding may occur
