Effective porosity can also be determined by submerging a fully dried sample in a beaker filled with a measured quantity of water and applying suction to draw air out of the sample. It originates as rainfall or snow, and then moves through the soil into the groundwater system, where it eventually makes its way back to surface streams, lakes, or oceans. Yes, water below your feet is moving all the time, but not like rivers flowing below ground. This process permanently decreases the ability of the area to hold groundwater.
