Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of these factors control the rate of groundwater flow. The slope of the water table affects the gradient along which groundwater flows, the permeability of rocks controls how easily water can flow through them, and the extent of fractures in rocks determines the interconnectedness of pore spaces and conduits through which water can flow.
