Water Table
The spaces between the grains are filled with air.
The spaces between the grains are filled with water.
Pores – the spaces in between rock particles
Permeable – materials that allow water to pass through them easily. Ex. sand and gravel
Impermeable – materials that water cannot pass through easily. Ex. clay and granite
