Answer to Question 1

The infiltration capacity is the maximum rate at which the soil or other surface materials can absorb
water. Infiltration capacity depends on the existing degree of water saturation, the duration and
intensity of rainfall, and the degree of soil consolidation



Answer to Question 2

Water is evaporated from the ocean, lakes, and streams and becomes water vapor in the atmosphere.
Then it precipitates and ends up back on land. On land, it may end up in glaciers, in the oceans, in
lakes or streams, or it may spend a long period of time underground as groundwater. Water also works
its way through plants by evaporation and through animals, where it is used for many processes
