| Scope note: | Infiltration is the process of passing water through the soil surface. Percolation is the downward advance of water in the unsaturated zone. Although a distinction is made between infiltration and percolation in the movement of water inside the soil, the two phenomena are strongly associated, since the infiltration cannot continue freely without the percolation removing the previously infiltrated water.
