Infiltration

Infiltration

Definition

The process of water soaking into soil instead of running off.

Interpretation

Infiltration is how land drinks. Without it, water rushes away, carrying soil and life with it. With it, soil becomes a sponge, storing life for dry days. Infiltration is the art of slowing down the gift of rain.

Living Invitation

During the next rain, watch where water runs off your roof, road, or garden. Imagine how you might slow, spread, and sink it.
