infiltration velocity
The actual rate at which water is entering the soil at a given time. It may be less than the maximum (the infiltration rate) because of a limited supply of water (rainfall or irrigation).

Infiltration: The movement of water into soil or porous rock. Infiltration occurs as water flows through the larger pores of rock or between soil particles under the influence of gravity, ...

Infiltration:  The gradual downward flow of water from the surface into the soil.

Infiltration
1. The penetration of water through the ground surface into sub-surface soil or the penetration of water from the soil into sewer or other pipes through defective joints, connections, or manhole walls. 2.

Infiltration rate: The quantity of water that enters the soil surface in a specified time interval. Often expressed in volume of water per unit of soil surface area per unit of time.

Infiltration: entry of water from precipitation, irrigation, or runoff into the soil profile.
Inorganic Chemicals: natural or synthetic chemicals that contain no carbon.
Insecticide: substance that kills insects.

Infiltration - Infiltration is the process of water entering the soil. Often of concern is the infiltration rate - the rate at which water enters soil.

Infiltration: Air leakage inward through cracks and interstices and through ceilings, floors, and walls of a space or building.

Infiltration
Penetration of water into a medium, for instance the soil.
Influent ...

infiltration. 1) The gradual flow or movement of water into
and through (to percolate or pass through) the pores of the
soil. Also see percolation. 2) the penetration of water from ...

Infiltration Gallery
Covers a wide range of subsurface groundwater collection systems.

Infiltration
The downward entry of water through the soil surface into the soil. Infiltration constitutes the sole source of water to sustain the growth of vegetation and it helps to sustain the ground water supply to wells, springs, and streams.

Water Infiltration: The process by which water enters building structures such as roofs, walls, floors and other building components through leaks in plumbing systems or natural occuring water from outside of the building.

Infiltration Gallery: An engineered structure that facilitates infiltration of water into the subsurface.

Infiltration The movement of water from the surface of the land through the unsaturated zone and into the groundwater. This occurs during and immediately after precipitation events. It can also occur at the bottom of lakes and rivers.

INFILTRATION BASIN
An infiltration practice that stores stormwater runoff in a shallow depression, and allows this runoff to percolate into the ground.
INFILTRATION PRACTICE ...

deep seepage Infiltration which reaches the water table.
deep-well injection Deposition of raw or treated, filtered hazardous waste by pumping it into deep wells where it is contained in the pores of permeable subsurface rock.

Chisel plowing can leave a protective cover of crop residues on the soil surface that helps prevent erosion and improve infiltration.
chloramines (KLOR-uh-means).

Infiltration - the downward entry of water into the immediate surface of the soil, as contrasted with leaching (percolation),
which is the movement of water from the soil.
Irrigation - application of water to soils to assist in plant growth.

Infiltration occurs when the water seeps into the ground, The infiltration rate depends on the permeability of the ground.

infiltration The flow of water downward from the land surface into and through the upper soil layers. influent Water or other liquid flowing into a reservoir, basin, or treatment plant.

A sewer that collects and transports surface runoff to a discharge point such as an infiltration basin, receiving stream or treatment plant. Storm sewers come in various designs and sizes-from small residential dry wells to large municipal systems.

A land area in which water reaches the zone of saturation from surface infiltration, e.g., where rainwater soaks through the earth to reach an aquifer.
Recharge Rate
The quantity of water per unit of time that replenishes or refills an aquifer.

Recharge area: Area of land allowing water to pass through it into an aquifer by surface infiltration.

Soil moisture management for forest land generally consists of protecting the litter layer and organic matter so that forest lands maintain high rainfall infiltration and minimize soil erosion.

Forebay. A portion of a groundwater basin where large quantities of surface water can recharge the basin through infiltration; also a reservoir or pond situated at the intake of a pumping plant or power plant to stabilize water level.

1. A relatively impermeable barrier designed to keep leachate inside a landfill. Liner materials include plastic and dense clay. 2. An insert or sleeve for sewer pipes to prevent leakage or infiltration.
Lipid Solubility ...

Superinsulation involves substantially increased R-values combined with proper detailing for minimized thermal bridging and thorough air sealing for minimized infiltration.

Hydrological (water) cycle is he cycle of the earth's water supply from the atmosphere to the earth and back which includes precipitation, transpiration, evaporation, runoff, infiltration, and storage in water bodies and groundwater.

Indirect discharge Introduction of pollutants from a non-domestic source into a publicly owned wastewater treatment system. Indirect dischargers can be commercial or industrial facilities whose wastes enter local sewers. Infiltration ...

passage of something through a surface that is to be protected; sometimes used with polyurethane membranes to prevent corrosion or oxidation of metal surfaces, chemical impacts on various materials, or, for example, to prevent radon infiltration ...

infiltration (soil) Movement of water from the ground surface into the soil. infrared radiation Electromagnetic radiation lying in the wavelength interval from 0.7 micrometers to 1000 micrometersm.
