Question

usefulness of infiltration and percolation rate​

Answer 1

Answer:

Infiltration occurs closer to the surface of the soil. Infiltration delivers water from the surface into the soil and plant rooting zone while Percolation moves it through the soil profile to replenish ground water supplies or become part of sub-surface run-off process.

Answer 2

Answer:

Difference

Infiltration and percolation are two related butdifferent processes describing the movement of moisture through soil. Infiltration is defined as the downward entry of water into the soil or rock surface (SSSA, 1975) and percolation is the flow of water through soil and porous or fractured rock.
