pore space
The total space not occupied by soil particles in a bulk volume of soil.
pore-size distribution ...
Pore space: Openings between geologic material found underground. Also referred to as void space or interstices.
Pore Space: An opening, void or interstice in a soil or rock mass.
Pore Volume: The volume of water (or air) that will completely fill all of the void space in a given volume of porous matrix. Pore volume is equivalent to the total porosity.
Void: The pore space or other openings in rock. The openings can be very small to cave size and are filled with water below the water table.
...
The opening or pore spaces in a soil or rock formation. In an aquifer, they are filled with water.
Interstitial Monitoring
The continuous surveillance of the space between the walls of an underground storage tank.
saturation, zone of place lying below the water table where the pore space is saturated with water under pressure greater than that of the atmosphere.
Under saturated soil conditions, when all of the pore space is filled with water, soil strength is so reduced that the soil may become almost liquid like when a force is applied.
pore space The space between mineral grains in a porous medium. potable Describes water that is safe and satisfactory for drinking and cooking. Compare non-potable water.
effective porosity The amount of interconnected pore space in a soil or rock through which fluids can pass, expressed as a percent of bulk volume.
Water Table: The water level of an unconfined aquifer, below which the pore spaces are saturated.
Water that occurs beneath the land surface and fills partially or wholly pore spaces of the alluvium, soil or rock formation in which it is situated.
The water contained in the pore space of the unsaturated zone.
Soil Sterilant
A chemical that temporarily or permanently prevents the growth of all plants and animals, ...
Water Table: top of an unconfined aquifer, below which the pore spaces are saturated with water.
Watershed (Drainage Basin): all land and water that drains runoff to a stream or other surface water body.
Most particles pass through surface layers but are trapped in pore spaces or adhere to sand particles. So not just the top layer of the filter cleans the water, but effective filtration extends into the depth of the filter.
Vadose Zone: The zone between land surface and the water table within which the moisture content is less than saturation (except in the capillary fringe) and pressure is less than atmospheric. Soil pore space also typically contains air or other ...
Fractured bedrock aquifer - An aquifer composed of solid rock, but where most water flows through cracks and fractures in the rock instead of through pore spaces. Flow through fractured rock is typically relatively fast.

with water. Also called "zone of aeration".

unsaturated zone. The area between the land surface and water table in which the pore spaces are only partially filled with water. Also called "zone of aeration".
upper-bound estimate. Estimate not likely to be lower than the true risk.
