The only reasons it wouldn’t percolate deeper are 1) there’s an aquitard barrier preventing it, 2) the groundwater table is already sufficiently full, I.e there’s no more space for it, and 3) it’s pumped out before it can recharge/percolate further.
You forgot 4) shit is built to get water away as fast as possible to prevent floods and keep swamps dry…
I didn’t actually. I was responding specifically to your comment that the water in the ground doesn’t “go deeper.” That has nothing to do with flood control, as the water we are talking about has already seeped into the ground.
No, problem is its just at the surface “ground” (a few centimeters deep) and not going into the ground water.
