For Percolation we have terms and definitions in 10 topics. The topics are Biomediation, Climate, Environment, Geography, Hunting, Oceanography, Physical Geography, Real Estate, Sanitation and Water Science.

Percolation (Biomediation)

Gravity flow of groundwater through the pore spaces in rock or soil.

Percolation (Climate)

The movement of water downward and radially through the subsurface soil layers, usually continuing downward to the groundwater.

Percolation (Environment)

1. The movement of water downward and radially through subsurface soil layers, usually continuing downward to ground water. Can also involve upward movement of water. 2. Slow seepage of water through a filter.

Percolation (Geography)

The movement of water downward and radially through the subsurface soil layers, usually continuing downward to the groundwater

Percolation (Hunting)

Downward flow or infiltration of water through the pores or spaces of rock or soil.

Percolation (Oceanography)

The geological meaning of percolation is the slow movement of water through the pores in soil or rocks.

Percolation (Physical Geography)

Vertical movement or infiltration of water from the Earth's surface to its subsurface. Movement usually stops when the flowing water reaches the water table.

Percolation (Real Estate)

The seepage of water through soil; the soil's ability to absorb to water or other liquid.

Percolation (Sanitation)

(1) The flow or trickling of a liquid downward through a contact or filtering medium. The liquid may or may not fill the pores of the medium. Also called filtration. (2) The movement or flow of water through the interstices or the pores of a soil or other porous medium. (3) The movement of groundwater in streamline flow in any direction through small interconnected and saturated interstices of rock or earth, principally of capillary size. (4) The water lost from an unlined conduit through its sides and bed.

Percolation (Water Science)

(1) The movement of water through the openings in rock or soil. (2) the entrance of a portion of the streamflow into the channel materials to contribute to ground water replenishment.
