Explanation:

Infiltration is the flow of water through the soil surface into a porous medium under gravitational action and pressure effects. The factors influence the infiltration are the soil type such as texture, structure, hydrodynamic characteristics which influence capillary forces and adsorption and the soil coverage. Soil humidity is an important factor for infiltration process. The infiltration regime evolves differently in time for dry or wet soils, soil compaction due to rain drop impact and other effects. The use of hard agricultural equipment can have consequences on the surface layer of soil.
