Answer:

Infiltration is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil. Infiltration rate in soil science is a measure of the rate at which soil is able to absorb rainfall or irrigation. ... The rate decreases as the soil becomes saturated.

and An aquifer is a layer of sand, gravel, soil, or rock that is saturated, meaning all pore spaces are filled with water, and able to transmit groundwater in sufficient quantities for uses such as drinking water and irrigation.

Answer: Infiltration is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil. It is commonly used in both hydrology and soil sciences. The infiltration capacity is defined as the maximum rate of inflation

An aquifer is an underground layer of water bearing permeable rock, rock fractures or unconsolidated materials. Groundwater can be extracted using a water well. The study of water flow in aquifers and the characterization of aquifers is called hydrogeology
