DEFINITION

  • Depending on soil properties, infiltrated precipitation water is partitioned into storage and groundwater recharge. Solutes and particles moving through soil have to pass the extensive inner surfaces of soil constituents where they might be sorbed or transformed. Hence, soils are also important to filter harmful substances, originating from industrial and agricultural production, municipal activities, or atmospheric deposits.
