Seepage refers to the slow movement of water through soil or porous materials. It occurs when water from a higher elevation or pressure area gradually flows into a lower elevation or pressure area. This process can happen in various environments, such as in groundwater systems, where water seeps through soil layers, or in construction sites, where it can affect the stability of structures. Seepage can have both positive and negative effects. On one hand, it can help recharge aquifers, providing a natural source of water. On the other hand, excessive seepage can lead to erosion, flooding, or damage to infrastructure. Understanding seepage is essential for effective water management and environmental protection.
