Question

The process of water seepage into the ground is called ________.

Answer 1

Hint:The conservation of water is a very necessary step taken by the government and also by the people to save the water. There are many techniques that have been accepted for the storage of water and most important techniques are rain and ground water harvesting.

Complete answer:
To answer this question, we have to first know about water conservation through storage tanks. The water storage tank or the water reservoir is the tank used for the storage of water for conservation. In such tanks, the water by reverse osmosis process gets stored until the water demand is started. that water is pumped inside the tank with the help of water sources like well. The tanks used in this process are either atmospheric tanks or the pressure tank. Let's discuss how this pressure tank works; the pressure tank uses the compressed air to form the water pressure inside. The tank is constructed as a bladder or air chamber with a pre-charge pressure. as the tank gets filled with water it results in the compress of the air, the continuous compress of air produces pressure inside the tank. once the internal pressure is reached to a certain mark it signals to cease the delivery of water. For the process of storing water the underground water is being used, the rain water or melted snow when contact with the ground the water gets seepage as soil has permeability and the cracks and holes through which the water get trapped inside the soil, this process is called infiltration. This water is stored under the ground by digging and stored for further use.

Note:Another rain water harvesting process is percolating tanks. The percolating tank is an artificially prepared reservoir that is constructed across the stream that submerges the land with proper permeability to maintain the enough percolation to collect the surface water.
