Answer:

A Infiltration

Step-by-step explanation:

The downward movement of water through pore spaces and other spaces in soil due to gravity is called infiltration.

Infiltration is greatly due to the force of gravity forcing water through pore spaces downward.

  • The ground water recharge is also impacted by this downward motion of water.
  • In areas where the surface of the soil is covered with concrete, infiltration is not possible.
  • Soil water content is due to the movement of water by infiltration.
