Answer to Question 1

Permeability is the ability of a porous material to permit fluid flow through the material. Porosity describes the abundance of pore spaces whereas permeability describes how the fluid flows through the pores.

Answer to Question 2

Perched ground water occurs when low permeability in specific spots creates a shallow saturated horizon perched above the water table.
