What does infiltration look like?

Infiltration refers to the process of water entering the soil from the surface, often seen during or after rainfall. It can appear as water seeping into the ground, forming puddles that gradually disappear as the soil absorbs the moisture. Infiltration rates can vary based on soil type, compaction, and vegetation cover, leading to differences in how quickly water permeates the ground. In areas with high infiltration, you may notice less surface runoff and healthier plant growth, while low infiltration can result in puddling and erosion.
