How
well
water
can
penetrate
the
soil
. Several
factor
s are used in
determining
this.
intensity
and
duration
of
rainfall
.
The more rain that falls, the more water will be

condition
s.
Frozen
ground is less likely to absorb water, while
dry
ground is more likely.
Soil
Texture
Sand
y and
Shale
y soil are the best types of soil for
maximum
soil infiltration
.
Slope
Steep
slopes will have more
runoff
, therefore less water will be
infiltrate
d.
Vegetation
coverage
Heavy
vegetation creates more
friction
which slows the
flow
of water, therefore causing more to be infiltrated into the soil.
