What is the relationship between the soil’s permeability and the amount of groundwater?

Answer with Explanation:

The amount of groundwater that can be stored will largely depend on the "soil's permeability." A permeable soil means that it is easy for water to pass through the pores. It has larger pores that are well-connected to each other thereby allowing water to flow freely. This also allows the water to pass through the rocks, which then increases its porosity. This also leads to an easier way to extract the groundwater.
